Everyone's comments are correct. Miramar was also "hot" while we were there; I have no clue who or what uses Miramar these days, but I kept seeing fighter jets flying sideways or upside down; it was awfully tempting sometimes to do the same thing.

At the top right of the first photo I see MCAS Miramar. The old Top Gun school back when the Navy was there.

MCAS Miramar is back in the hands of its' rightful owners
It is the home of 3rd MAW (Marine Aircraft Wing) and many additional units.

Great pics. I flew out of Miramar from 1991 thru 1996, sure do miss that area. Must have had a lot of rain, everything is green. Usually late in the summer everything is brown!
Can't see the bunkers in your pic, but there are a bunch of dug out caves in the cliffs on both sides of Pt Loma. They were originally for coastal artillery from WW-II. I used to ride my bike all over Pt Loma, one of the most beautiful places in all the world.
Thanks for posting.
