The fastest growing air museum in the country, and soon to become one of the best known. Has an amazing amount of aircraft and memorabilia. Restoration of aircraft also sponsored by museum and by volunteers. They restored the helicoptor that Nixon used on his resignation. Located right next to March Air Reserve Base and across from the Riverside National Cemetery, it is home of the War Dog Memorial. Has received national attention. Staff is proactive, in touch with the needs of the community, and hosts a number of major events on its grounds including the best seating for the Annual Airshow at March ARB.

Having worked with various museums around the nation, I can honestly say that March Field Museum should be well on the way to being a "world-class" museum. They have two major advantages- -location and an energetic staff. Those are qualities that many museums would die for. Public access is second to none and is another quality that many would also die for. I would certainly give those folks a 9+ on a 1-10 scale and would make March museum a "must see" for anyone traveling through the area. Keep up the good work.

I am one of Rudy's clueless. I served four years in the USCG. Flying as a flight mechanic on both fixed wing and rotary wing search and rescue aircraft. Since starting as one of the clueless over two years ago several aircraft have come through the restoration hangar including the presidential helicopter now on display at the Nixon Library Take time to visit the library and see what an air cop and his clueless are capable of. As far as the aircraft languishing, with all due respect to the colonel, stop in and give us a hand. Rudy was a air cop. So what. He knows how to lead and he treats everyone with courtesy and respect.

I have been a volunteer at The March Museum for over two years now and I'm really excited about the direction the museum has taken towards accreditation. I've seen first hand and appreciate how difficult it is to operate the museum and I'm proud to be asked to participate in what it's becoming. I agree, it's not a museum like NAS Pensacola or the Smithsonian, but we don't have the same funding as they do. Not yet anyway! I believe the March Museum thrives because of the creativity of the staff and volunteers. We take pride in what we do and strive to make the museum better for everyone. To the critics and nay sayers out there, please volunteer and join the team; we need the resources.

The last three comments by disgruntled ex-workers whose limitations were apparent by their pathetic lack of ability, which is one of the reasons why they are no longer there. Add to that their futile attempts to undermine the sterling work being done by the permanent staff and volunteers. Talk about sour grapes and bruised egos!!!. I have been a docent at the museum for just under two years and have worked with the current director and her staff. It has been a pleasure to work with her and share her enthusiasm for the task ahead. In this short period of time, the change and direction of the museum and it's future are in good hands. The overall appearance of the museum interior and displays has been dramatic and the programs presented have been nothing short of remarkable. The last two, Gary Powers son's presentation (his memorabilia is there through the end of the year), and the SR-71 week-end were spectacular. Future events in the works will be equally exciting for both old members and new ones who are joining in ever increasing numbers. The overseas tour next year is an example of just but one of the projects the director is planning. Overall, the future of the museum projects growth and excitement. It is a pleasure to be associated with such an inspired staff and enthusiastic volunteers. Their efforts will be celebrated many years from now for their dedication and inspiration for providing the area with a history of what the base, the planes, the aviation artifacts, have meant to the area and the nation.

The first three comments can't be about the same museum that I've visited. It's easy to complain about something with no offer of help or solution to a problem. Just bad mouthing the people who are doing something accomplishes NOTHING. March Field Air Museum is a great place to visit with a caring staff and very knowledgeable volunteers. If you're not even willing to sign your screen name, why bother writing it? Something to hide?

The March Field Air Museum is one of the best tourist attractions in the Riverside area. It compliments other nearby aircraft museums that generally have smaller airplanes that are inside hangars. At March, you have the big B-52, B-29, KC-135, the C-141 and the SR-71 that are outside with the sky as the background. At March, you sometimes get to see current military aircraft taking off or landing at a real military base. A big thanks go to all those who run the museum and their volunteers.
