ABOUT
OUR SITE
March Field Air Museum, and the P-38 National Museum are adjacent to
the March Air Reserve Base, Riverside, California. March Field Air
Museum serves as home to over 60 historic aircraft and many inside displays
relating to the history of March Field, now known as March Air Reserve Base.
The main building was erected in 1993. Its style reflects the traditional
hangars of earlier aviation days. The distinctive checkerboard roof can be
readily seen from the Interstate 215 freeway.
At the museum visitors can watch modern military aircraft as they land and
take off daily. Inside the museum the visitor will find thousands of
artifacts on display covering the years from 1918 to the present. Also displayed
in the hangar are some rare and unusual aircraft, including a P-59
fighter, the first operational jet adopted by the U.S. Air Force over 50
years ago.
The building also contains a theater in
which visitors may view films about the history of March Field and U.S. military
aviation, the General Curtis E. LeMay Library, a well-stocked
Museum Store, a G-force Flight
Simulator, and the museum offices.
