General
MCAS Yuma is located in the southwest of Arizona and very close to the Mexican border. The US Marines have mainly based AV-8B's here, but they also share this airfield with some civil charters, which operated from the other side of the airfield, named: Yuma Int. Airport. Becuase Yuma is that close to the border with Mexico, also the DEA, US Customs and the Southwest Border Alliance can be found at this airfield.
