You will also enjoy a large static display of various military aircraft and other equipment much from the Vietnam era.
This year’s show is dedicated to the veterans of the Vietnam War. All branches of our armed forces served in Vietnam and all made substantial sacrifices. The United States Marine Corps, both ground and air components, served from 1965 to 1975 primarily in what was then called I Corps in the northern portion of South Vietnam. This show is dedicated to all who served.
So come on out and have an unforgettable day of thrills and excitement while at the same time honoring those who so bravely served in Vietnam. I guarantee you will never forget the experience. The Main Gate for MCAS Miramar is on Miramar Way just off of the I-15 freeway. There are a wide range of seating options available.
