F. A. Richie
Colonel,
U.S. Marine Corps
Commanding Officer,
MCAS Miramar

I would like to thank the people of San Diego for making this year’s MCAS Miramar Air Show such an overwhelming success. Our attendance figures indicate that over 750,000 people enjoyed the thrilling aerial performances during the three days of the air show. Your tremendous support of your Marines and sailors during the air show and throughout the year is unparalleled. That is why San Diego is truly ‘America’s Finest City.’

Thank you very much.
