What base was Iron Eagle filmed on?

Question

I know the tail designator BA was only used on the F-4 Phantom, not the F16 and is not used anymore, and in the beggining it shows the end to the base name, but I can't find it anywhere.

Answer 1

thats because that base doesnt exist (at least not the name)

The film was made somewhere in the Middle East, possible Isreal, as was Iron Eagle 2

the reason for this was that the US government refused to allow a jet fighter in a movie about stealing them.

the external shots of the base might have been realy in the US

but 99% of the movie was not shot int he US

i know that for a fact, there were all sorts of articles on it

I am watching it right now and in wide screen the name of the base is "Beecher Air Force Base"

when i looked up the name it lists Davis Mountain

Must be a sub name for it.

anyway i know for sure the fighters and most of the movie was filmed in Isreal and that area.

Answer 2

Either Luke Air Force Base or Davis Monthan Air Force Base ... both in Arizona. :)
