Due to JFTB force protection requirements, emails must include the full name, address (including zip code), California driver’s license number and phone number for every member of your group.
Please note that space is very limited and all tour participants must be pre-registered.
There is no charge for the tour, but all persons requesting base entry must show current photo identification to the guard at the main gate.
