Helpful Information
We are happy to have you, your friends and your family as our guests here at McConnell Air Force Base. We will do everything we can to ensure that your Open House experience is safe and enjoyable.
We ask for your cooperation in keeping potentially dangerous items outside the flightline gates. At entry points to the Open House flightline, all bags will be inspected and all individuals are subject to search. Unattended bags and packages will be removed from the premises.
To speed your entrance into the exhibit area, large bags, backpacks, ice chests and coolers will not be permitted. Essential carry-alls (baby bags, etc.) and all other packages and bags will be carefully inspected to ensure everyone's safety. Glass containers are not allowed. It is recommended that spectators minimize the number and size of permitted items to reduce the inspection time prior to access into the Open House area.
