The Marine Corps Air Station El Toro Historical Foundation is dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the former United States Marine Corps Air Station located near Irvine, California. Established in 1942, MCAS El Toro was a key aviation hub on the West Coast, known for its Master Jet Base designation and its ability to accommodate the largest aircraft in the U.S. military inventory.
Following its decommissioning in 1999, the site has been repurposed for various uses, including serving as a filming location and the development of the Orange County Great Park. The foundation aims to educate visitors about the rich military history and significance of MCAS El Toro through exhibits, events, and historical preservation efforts.
