Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is located northeast of Dayton, Ohio, and encompasses parts of Greene and Montgomery counties. The base has a rich aviation heritage. The pioneering work of Orville and Wilbur Wright from 1899 to 1903 enabled them to achieve the first manned, powered flight. After their success at Kitty Hawk, they returned home to Dayton, Ohio, where in 1904 and 1905 they perfected their flying skills while turning the Wright Flyer into the first practical airplane capable of fully-controlled flight. They accomplished this work at the Huffman Prairie Flying Field, now a part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. From 1910 to 1916 the brothers operated a flying school at Huffman Prairie. Among their 119 students were Henry “Hap” Arnold who commanded the Army Air Forces in World War II, and H. Roy Brown, the Canadian ace who was credited with shooting down the Red Baron in World War I.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has been a leader in military aviation development from the time of airplane inventors Wilbur and Orville Wright to today’s aerospace age. The base is headquarters for a vast, worldwide logistics system, a world-class laboratory research function, and is the foremost acquisition and development center in the U.S. Air Force. Dozens of associate organizations representing a broad spectrum of Air Force and Department of Defense activities call Wright-Patterson home. The base is comparable to a medium sized city with services ranging from shopping facilities and child care centers to housing areas and a large medical center.

The Annual Technology Expo for Scott AFB is THE way to make contacts and inroads with personnel from this important air force base. The 2023 Scott AFB Expo will be promoted to HQ AF Air Mobility Command, US Transportation Command, AF Communications Command, DISA and over 40 other tenant commands! Over 200 attendees look forward to and attend this expo each and every year. This is always a MUST DO Show for a very important Air Force site that always is a highly interactive program. For procurement, May/June are the most important months of the year at Scott AFB. With high demand for this event that was held back on base for the first time in 3 years in 2022, the facility will fill quickly. It’s important to secure a space well in advance for this event.

The 2023 Hill AFB Technology Expo hosted by the AFCEA Wasatch Chapter is an excellent opportunity to interact with key personnel from this important air force base. Over 250 personnel attend annually and with strong exhibitor participation this expo always sells out. Hill Air Force Base is an Air Force Materiel Command base located in northern Utah. Hill is home to many operational and support missions, with the Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC) serving as the main organization and the 75th Air Base Wing providing the support. The center provides worldwide engineering and logistics management for the F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II, Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. The 75th ABW provides base operating support for the Ogden Air Logistics Center, the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings, 84th Combat Sustainment Wing, 309th Maintenance Wing, 508th Aerospace Sustainment Wing and 25 associate units. Promotional efforts for Hill will be far reaching but the focus will be on the Air Logistics Centers Directorates and the 75th ABWs tenant commands and units. Technology Vendors who participate in this program highly regard this event as the most effective way to reach key personnel at Hill AFB. Speaking opportunities are also available for exhibitors in the Hill Event.

Back live for the first time since June of 2019….the 2022 Lackland event came back strong with over 250 personnel attending. The 502nd Communications Squadron and AFSA are the strong hosts of this expo that makes the most of your time in a region full of Air Force and DoD personnel. Randolph and Brooks AFBs and Fort Sam Houston are all combined to form a Joint Base and personnel at all installations are promoted to for this popular annual exposition. Attracting 200+ attendees each year, this is the one Air Force Expo in San Antonio that attracts contacts from all over the JBSA area. A favorite among vendors who sell to the military in San Antonio, this show is always known for attracting the key technology personnel at a crucial time of year.

This is the major technology event for Robins AFB each year. The Annual Expo attracts 250+ personnel and this is the ONLY Technology Expo held directly on Robins AFB. Robins Air Force Base is the state’s largest industrial complex employing over 24,000 workers including civilians, active duty and contractors, performing a wide range of logistics activities. Warner Robins Air Logistics Center has command jurisdiction over Robins Air Force Base and is host to over 40 separate hosted organizations.

The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, one of three major air logistics centers in the Air Force Materiel Command, supports the goals and objectives of the AFMC and other related Air Force/DOD activities by providing affordable combat superiority, readiness, and sustainability to the war fighters. WR-ALC provides worldwide logistics management, engineering, and organic depot maintenance for various aircraft. WR-ALC has worldwide management and logistics support responsibility for all Air Force helicopters, special operations aircraft, missiles, vehicles, and general purpose computers.

Robins manages more than 200,000 items that represent the full range of avionics functions and technology. The center is part of the Air Force Materiel Command headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

Vandenberg Space Force Base, previously Vandenberg Air Force Base, is a United States Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California. Established in 1941, Vandenberg Space Force Base is a space launch base, launching spacecraft from the Western Range, and also performs missile testing.

Vandenberg Space Force Base (SFB) contains 99,604 acres of land, operates approximately 16 launch facilities and complexes, and maintains the second largest airfield runway in the Department of Defense, which is 15,000 feet long. The installation provides a safe location for the testing of new and existing Department of Defense sanctioned programs, government and commercial launch and range services, as well as offers future space lift and land based mission capabilities in support of the National Defense Strategy. The installation was used for Army tank, infantry, and artillery training during World War II, and again during the Korean War. In 1957, the installation property was transferred to the recently established U.S. Air Force and was soon transformed into the nation’s West Coast space and missile facility that is now Vandenberg SFB. The unique geographic location of Vandenberg makes this major range and test facility base a safe and ideal setting to test land based strategic deterrent assets, and to safely place satellite payloads into polar earth orbit.

In December 1940, a site board determined that Flexible Gunnery School No. 9 would be located 12 miles southeast of Panama City, Florida on East Peninsula. On May 6, 1941, Army and local dignitaries held an official ground breaking for the school. Panama City’s mayor, Harry Fannin, dug the first spade full of sand, and Colonel Warren Maxwell, Tyndall’s first commander, wielded the first ax on the stubborn palmetto plants, so common on the East Peninsula. The site was covered with pine and palmetto trees, scrub brush, and swamps. Bulldozers worked around the clock to clear the brush and fill in swamps.

Although construction was well underway, the base lacked a name. Congressman Bob Sikes suggested naming the school in memory of Lieutenant Francis B. Tyndall. A native of Sewall Point, Florida. Lieutenant Tyndall was a fighter pilot during World War I and was credited with shooting down four German planes well behind enemy lines in 1918. While inspecting Army fields near Mooresville, North Carolina on July 15, 1930, Tyndall’s plane crashed, killing him instantly. On June 13, 1941, the War Department officially named the new installation Tyndall Field.
