High Desert Deployment: Navy Color on Display at NAS Fallon
Since World War Two, Navy squadrons have been deployed to the high desert outside of Fallon, Nevada, to hone their aerial combat skills. Today, Naval Air Station Fallon, with its 14,000ft-long runway – the longest in the Navy – hosts squadrons and carrier air wings conducting refresher training and work-ups prior to their next fleet assignments. High Desert Deployment explains how these deployments make, and keep, the squadrons combat ready. Stunning images show the colorful history of various squadrons along with the markings displayed by the aircraft.
The popular CAG-birds that fly the squadron’s colors into battle are shown. The local base aircraft of NAS Fallon is also profiled, including the famous aggressor “Bandits,” as well as the aircraft used to train Top Gun crews. The base features an extensive air park collection of past aircraft including several MiG fighters, and gate guards that honor the aviation history of the US Navy.
High Desert Deployment highlights the aircraft that are a vital part of the US Navy’s arsenal, deployed around the world, and the training that its crews undergo.

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.

Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue

Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
