The theme of this year’s Miramar Air Show is 100 Years of Women in the Marine Corps. The 2018 MCAS Miramar Air Show gives the public and current service members an opportunity to honor the 100 years that women have served in the Marine Corps by celebrating their accomplishments and recognizing their contributions to the Corps. The Air Show also provides visitors the opportunity to see Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Army and civilian aircraft spanning 70 years as well as to get a firsthand look at Marine Corps tactical equipment.
While the Air Show performance dates are Friday to Sunday, September 28-30, military and civilian aircraft are expected to be seen and heard in the skies above University City and surrounding areas from Wednesday, September 26 to Monday, October 1.
