Miramar Air Show Spectator Guidelines
 
For Your Safety

We are happy to have you, your friends and your family as our guests here at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. We will do everything to ensure that your Air Show experience is safe and enjoyable. Every effort will be made to minimize delays in entering and leaving the Air Show.

We ask for your cooperation in keeping potentially dangerous items safely outside the flight line gates.  At the entry points to the air show flight line, ALL bags will be quickly inspected and all individuals are subject to search prior to entering the air show flight line. 
To speed up the process, there will be checkpoints at all three flight line entrances four additional checkpoints throughout the air station to alleviate wait times. Large bags, large backpacks, large ice chests and coolers will not be permitted. It is recommended that spectators minimize the number and size of permitted items to reduce the inspection time prior to access into the flight line area.

There will be two entrance lines at each gate. One will be for people carrying bags,
or other items to be inspected. Please note that this security policy applies to all military and civilian personnel, and is currently in effect 365 days a year.
