I feel so blessed to share my passion for Aircraft and all Man-Made Aviation accomplishments!! The March Field Air Museum began in 1979, when the first display of artifacts was opened to the public at then-March Air Force Base. That same year, the nonprofit March Air Museum Foundation was established to provide a means for channeling private support to the museum, which at the time was recognized as an official U.S. Air Force museum. In 1993 the museum moved to its current site alongside Interstate Highway 215.

In 1996, as the U.S. realigned its military bases and March became an Air Reserve Base, responsibility for ownership, management and operation of the museum was turned over to the March Field Museum Foundation. In the years since, the museum has added buildings, collections, and staff members, and worked hard to appeal to a diverse audience of families, veterans, and military/aviation enthusiasts.

Here is a link to the Museum's Website: https://www.marchfield.org
On the Wiki site there are links to all the aircraft stationed here at #MarchFieldAirMuseum and the information regarding many changes.

For several decades I have been an FAA Licensed A&P, Pilot and ME for several companies; Dassault-Falcon, Gulfstream, Lockheed-Martin, Bombardier, and the Private Sector. My Family's roots and ties to aviation run deep as my Grandfather was instrumental in twin-rotor aviation development with the Piasecki Corporation, other rotorcraft development with Boeing-Vertol, McDonald Douglas, Bell-Sikorsky Comanche X-Program and NASA.

The March Field Air Museum today displays one of the largest collections of military aircraft on the West Coast... so enjoy this video and let me know in the comments which aircraft you found to be most interesting or any questions about Aviation of Yesterday or Today!!
