• Craig Bellavance★★★★★

  The March Field Air Museum is a great place to visit, especially if you have an interest in aviation or military history. The museum has a huge collection of aircraft and aviation memorabilia representing all branches of the U.S. military, although the collection is primarily focused on the U.S. Air Force. There’s also an interesting collection of Russian-made MiGs that adds another dimension to the exhibits. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Most of the aircraft displayed outside have paint jobs that are noticeably sun-faded and weathered, but that’s understandable given their outdoor exposure and age. It doesn’t take away from the impressive size and variety of the collection. An especially interesting project currently underway is the refurbishment of the Marine One helicopter from the Nixon Presidential Library, which is being worked on by the museum. It was great to see this important piece of presidential history being preserved. The museum has convenient restrooms and a huge gift store with plenty of aviation-related merchandise. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit and a great stop for aviation enthusiasts, military history buffs, and families.

  This is a fascinating air force museum with exhibits from the various wars the US has fought, and many aircraft. Outside, there is a massive yard (adjacent to the air base) with various fighter planes and a replica of 'the little boy', the bomb dropped over Hiroshima. It is truly awe inspiring to stand next to a b-52 bomber! Wow. This is great for air and space museum aficionados and those interested in the history of the US air force. One of the captions made me sadly realize that precision bombing from the air is unlikely to make an enemy surrender; this is what happened in WWII and not until the US destroyed vast swaths of cities in Germany did the war start to turn around. With all this new war technology, drones AI etc, what does this bode for the future of war? The museum is great for kids, too. A great stop from Palm springs on the way to LA.

  I LOVE going to this place! Been here many times, and its always a blast. Learn something new each time. Nothing like stepping into the past to give you perspective. Gets busy after 12pm so if you like a quieter atmosphere definitely recommend visiting before noon, at least on weekends.
