Some notes on Marine Corps history at MCAS Miami:

From http://www.mag31.marines.mil/MAG-31-Units/VMFA-251/About/ :

In 1957, VMA-251 was relocated to MCAS Miami, Florida and began flying the FJ-4 “Fury”. With the transition to the FJ-4 came the re-designation to VMF-251 on 20 April 1957.

In April 1958 VMF-251 left MCAS MIami and returned to MCAS El Toro.

In 1958, Navy and Marine aviation went through a major reorganization. With the closing of MCAS Miami, the Third Marine Air Wing moved to El Toro where the wing remained for the next 40 years.
