Event Details and Registration

Randolph Air Force Base has a rich history and critically important mission in preparing pilots for the defense of out Nation.  Many of the training activities share the same airspace that we, General Aviation, utilize all over Central Texas.  The 12th Flying Training Wing is hosting this event to build on the positive relationship that exists between the Air Base and the Central Texas Community, and to increase the awareness of the Pilot Community to the Air Force Activities in the area.

While the improved community relations are important, it is the increase in Aviation Safety that is the ultimate goal of this event.  As the airspace becomes more crowded and more aircraft are going "GPS-Direct" the potential for encounters with other aircraft increases.  Learning how and where the Randolph training aircraft operate can improve your Situational Awareness and make it easier to avoid some of these high-traffic areas.

Flying-In  Set your GPS to KRND-Direct-Enter-Enter, Communicate with San Antonio Approach (128.05) and Randolph Tower (128.25).  Ground Control (119.65) will direct you to parking on the South Ramp via Taxiway Bravo or Charlie; Watch for Ground Guides.

NOTE - It could get busy coming in, and there will be Non-ADS-B / Non-Transponder aircraft, so keep your eyes out the windscreen to See & Avoid Other Aircraft.

DRIVING IN - From the Randolph AFB Main Gate, proceed South on Harmon Drive to the Traffic Circle; Take the second Exit to the Right onto Main Circle; Exit onto 1st Street W; Take that to J Street, Turn Left.   Hangar 41, Transient Alert, will be on your Right.

Walking-In - Yeah, like a pilot's gonna walk that far!  Taxis and Uber are not gonna be allowed on the Air Base, so you better bring your own car!
