Possible Laughlin AFB tour

[d14]

I'm planning to visit Texas+ in October for the Ellington and Little Rock Airshows.

I've just been talking to the PAO at Laughlin AFB about a tour. They might do something if I can arrange a group visit, so I'd like to know if anyone else would be interested in visiting too?

Given the show dates, I'd prefer to go for the morning of Monday 22nd October, but could be a bit flexible.

Any takers?

Could you give me/us some more info?
I guess we don't know who and where you are?
How about chances of succeeding?
Any ideas how to organise?
Not trying to be cynical by the way, just a few questions.....

I’m not looking to go on the tour but I did have a tour at Laughlin last year arranged through the PAO. In sum, he collects you in a van outside of the base and drives you from one end of the flightline to the other, stopping where you ask him to. You can’t get out of the van but he will drive past any open hangar doors if you ask him to do that you can spot the aircraft inside.
It is very worthwhile and you can get a lot of numbers from it. That said, that’s assuming the PAO is still the same one although he has been there for a long time so I don’t see any reason for it not to be. Photos were allowed too.
