Due to the continuing impacts of #COVID19, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar must formally announce the cancellation of the 2021 Miramar Air Show. It is a disappointment to us as well as many across the world, but the safety of our Marines and fellow San Diegans must come first. We had hoped that conditions would allow for us to safely celebrate the world of aviation together, but the time just isn’t right to have a mass gathering like the #1AirShow. We’re going to look ahead at 2022 and put together one of the best in the world.

Today celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. Here at MCAS Miramar, we commemorate the timeless values he taught through his example - courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, and service. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at a time of challenge and controversy.
