    Came from Belgium and as an aviation lover i had to visit this AFB. been there twice now and both times where amazing. The second time i wanted to purchase one of the patches on the wall but they said it was their private collection but we got into talking about patches and how the airforce in Belgium is with the guy at the register/ desk. Very friendly staff over there and willing to help you find what you need. highly recommend visiting.

    Airfest 2016 just this past weekend

    Finally the airshow (March Field Airfest 2016) comes to town after a three year hiatus (last airshow was in 2012), Best performace I've seen by the Patriots jet team, and the Thunderbirds are always great! Here are two of my AIRSHOW (youtube) videos... Yelp did not let me upload them directly because they were not taken with my phone... https://youtu.be/KcmfZcrwQAE https://youtu.be/pLwR6c5dLCU Moreno Valley actually holds its Airfest every two years instead of every year, but they cancelled the airshow in 2014 at the last minute too (go figure!) It was a record breaking crowd this year.. I honestly thought nothing could ever beat the crowds at Moreno Valley's official zoo (COSTCO), but this one probably made the Guinness Record for Moreno Valley so far. BTW, March Air Reserve is a military base in Moreno Valley/Riverside, once a very active Air Force base. This base is two miles from home. As always, this event is FREE, including parking. I wish they would hold the air show EVERY YEAR instead of every other year. C'mon guys!! Do it for the love of your city! WWW.MARCHAIRFEST.COM

    March is a highly important base and steeped in history. If you have an opportunity, definitely come check it out.

    It is a disservice to the men and women in uniform, who are actively serving at this base, to label it 'not a real military institution'.

    We grew up within biking distance of the base and our mom would take us to the airshows when we…read morewere young, so when I found out there were airshows again, I jumped at the chance. Even though we grew up with military IDs since one of our parents served, we no longer have them as adults, so it's a great way to get back on the base with the rest of the public who can finally see what it looks like inside. Meanwhile, for my sister and me, it brought back floods of memories. The airshow itself is fairly well organized, but there are some things that need to be improved. There were plenty of porta potties all around the edges, although the wash stations tended to lack water so we'd get stuck with soap on our hands with nothing to wash it away with. There were plenty of water fountains towards the chain link fence, but the announcer made it confusing by saying they were by the ramps. I looked at the map inside the program booklet and didn't see a ramp anywhere, nor were the water fountains on the map. I had to ask around to finally find them. Another thing that was confusing was the rules said no water bottles unless in a sealed bottle, but I saw plenty of people with them anyway. The rules should be amended to "Water bottles ok as long as empty. Fill up inside." There were food trucks although I wish there was more variation besides chicken and waffles and sausages, like international food and vegetarian options would've been nice. The airshow itself was amazing. Even when we were stuck outside the gates in a long line of cars trying to get inside, we could already see planes flying. Some people even opted to just park outside of the base, tailgate, and watch the show from the nearby gas stations and convenience stores. Getting to drive and park on one of the runways was also cool. It makes you realize just how big the runways are since there must have been thousands of cars parked on it. We got used to watching so many stunt planes tumbling, stalling, diving, and looping that when it was time to go home and we saw a plane, it was kind of a let down. It was like "Oh, it's just a regular plane." It's a great way to spend a sunny spring weekend, but I highly recommend dressing for hot weather, bringing umbrellas, chairs, and water bottles. Like it was so hot that so many people were hiding under the shade of the huge wings of the planes on display, which in itself is pretty cool and unique. Update: I just learned that where we parked our cars is called the "ramp" not the runway, so when the announcer said the free water was "by the ramp" technically we were already on it.

    Make sure you stop at the Visitor Center if it's your first time on base. Need a visitor pass…read more Came for my military ID. Very nice gate military police.
