SAN PEDRO, Calif. — The scheduled ribbon cutting and commissioning ceremony for the U.S. Coast Guard's newest air station at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu has been postponed until further notice.

Air Station Ventura features a $70 million state-of-the-art, 43,000 square foot hangar and a 12,000 square foot administration facility, ensuring that Coast Guard personnel have the resources needed to carry out their vital missions.
