The Imperial Valley supports the Naval Air Facility, El Centro as the base for the Navy's Joint Strike Fighter - F35 Aircraft. Located about six miles west of El Centro, California, NAF El Centro is the best location for homebasing of the Navy's seven F-35C active-duty squadrons and one training squadron. Our full website is coming soon. For now please see just a few of the reasons the Imperial Valley is the ideal location. The Imperial Valley’s vast unobstructed desert terrain, unique climate, limited non-military air traffic, and its own dedicated gunnery and bombing ranges make NAF El Centro an ideal environment for aerial combat maneuvering, air-to-air gunnery, bombing practice and electronic warfare training. Homebasing seven F-35C active-duty squadrons and one training squadron at NAF-El Centro would provide the Navy with efficiencies not available anywhere else on the West Coast.
