MARINE AVIATION
IS COMING HOME.
From 1918, with the creation of the 1st Marine Aviation Force, to the jungles of Haiti and Nicaragua, the beaches of Iwo Jima, and today’s global missions, Marine Corps Aviation has always answered the call.
In early 2024, more than 30,000 artifacts were moved from MCAS Miramar to Hangar 297 at the former MCAS El Toro, laying the foundation for the only museum in the world dedicated to the legacy of U.S. Marine Corps Aviation.
