The unassuming building offers little hint of the magnificent treasures and artifacts inside. But once the doors open, the awe-inspiring details are revealed. Massive fighter jets, military weapons dating as far back as WWI, and even dedicated stories of passenger air travel greet you. But what truly makes this museum so wonderful is the volunteers who are eager to share their harrowing stories––such as the 90-year-old gentleman who showed us the photo of himself when he was 18 and the uniform he wore behind the glass case. For museums, this is one remarkable gem of living history you can't miss.

We stopped en route to Bakersfield as a pit stop and we are so glad we did. This museum, set at the historic March Airfield is fantadtic, most of the aircraft are outside, but if its raining they have umbrellas! The range of aircaft is breathtaking from a B17 to a B52! Theres plenty to do for kids with i teractive displays. What was cool for us from the UK was to find a display about the blitz in London and the trenches from WWI. You also need to check out the memorials out front, especially to the K9s This is a must visit museum!

What an incredibly range of military (air) craft. So much to see and read. Very informative guides, who are more than happy to answer questions. I’m not a plane spotter, but happily spent more than two hours here.

Good visit after a warm welcome by a veteran. The museum has a lot on display, both inside and out. But the outside line-up of planes is really impressive, next to the runway of March airforce base. Also, don't forget to visit their shop. Found some special items!
