March Field itself traces its roots to 1918, when it was founded as Alessandro Field as one of 32 Air Service training camps in response to the United States' entry into World War I. Located at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, the museum sits on the edge of an active military flight line where visitors can watch today's fighters alongside the exhibits of yesterday's bombers and early aircraft. The museum's collection spans the full arc of powered flight, from pioneers through World War II icons to modern drones, making it a destination for anyone curious about how aviation evolved.

A typical visit moves through galleries showing aircraft construction, the development of military aviation, and the role modern aircraft play in the Air Force today. Families find hands-on exhibits alongside the full-scale aircraft displayed both indoors and on the flight line ramp. The museum grounds offer views of active runways, making it a place where the history of flight and the current Air Force mission come together.
