It will be taps for El Toro Marine Corps Air Station when the curious 
and the sentimental gather today for a final salute to the base that was 
closely identified with Orange County for more than half a century.

Tours will be available between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for those who want to

dignitaries, including at least one former base commander.
