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 70 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, and the museum offices.


Fantastic, and it keeps getting better. Some 20 plus years ago this would just have some unique items, like the U2 spy plane, but now there is a greatly expanded number of exhibits.Best times to go are during air shows, or weekends, when some of the old timers that flew the same models you are looking at volunteer on hand to let you tour the planes, sit in the cockpit (if allowed) and answer questions. War stories are free and priceless at the same time.
