## Description

Fighter jets, not freight: Naval Air Station Fallon (NFL/KNFL) in Nevada is where every US Navy carrier air wing trains before deployment, and since 1996 it has hosted TOPGUN within the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC). Its 14,000-foot runway is the longest in the Navy, supporting some 3,000 personnel. The base is closed to civil traffic of any kind, cargo included — no freight terminal, no handling agent, no public customs post. The FY2023 defence authorisation added roughly 558,000 acres of training land to the adjoining Fallon Range Training Complex, and implementation is still being tracked by an intergovernmental committee. Commercial shipments for the Lahontan Valley route through Reno-Tahoe (RNO), a good hour west, with Oakland (OAK) and Los Angeles (LAX) as the realistic intercontinental air cargo gateways.
