MCAS Miramar offers a weekly tour program open to the public.
The tours are free of charge and take place on Monday - Friday each week, weather and operational commitments permitting. Please contact the MCAS Miramar Public Affairs Office at least one week prior to the tour date requested. Tours will not be held in October due to the annual MCAS Miramar Air Show.
This program is designed to provide a better, more dynamic opportunity for community residents to familiarize themselves with MCAS Miramar’s mission and its Marines and Sailors.
The tours will include an air station windshield tour, to include Marine Aircraft Wing fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. The Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum is adjacent to MCAS Miramar and is accessible from Miramar Rd with no military escort required; it is closed on Mondays.
If you are interested in attending a tour or would like more information, please contact the Public Affairs Office at (858) 577-6000 to make a reservation. Reservations must be made no later than one week in advance.

All special group tour requests must be submitted in writing 30 days prior to the event date.

The request should also specify any special requests such as use of the mess hall, facility needs, etc.
There is no age limit for our tours, but we recommend not bringing young children.

Barring special circumstances, we only offer tours on weekdays.
We welcome foreign travelers to visit our air station. However, we discourage and cannot accommodate requests made by tail spotters (visitors who take pictures of the tails of aircraft for use as collector cards). Foreign travelers must also submit passports to our office 30 days in advance of requested tours.
