Lackland Air Force Base (IATA: SKF, ICAO: KSKF, FAA LID: SKF) is a United States Air Force (USAF) base located in Bexar County, Texas, United States. The base is under the jurisdiction of the 802d Mission Support Group, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and an enclave of the city of San Antonio. It is the only site for USAF and United States Space Force enlisted Basic Military Training (BMT). 

San Antonio Lackland Air Force Base also known as San Antonio Kelly Field (SKF/KSKF) was opened in 1917. It is one of the four C-5 bases in the US next to Dover, Travis and Westover. So if you are looking for C-5, Lackland AFB is a good place to be! Apart from that, there are some fighter aircraft based here as well as. In addition, you may see some US military transport aircraft from other air bases like C-17s or also very few C-130s or similar and rarely you can also astonish foreigh air forces or some US military “passenger aircraft” like VIP/GA aircraft such as LJ35s.

Lackland AFB also hosts the 149th Fighter Wing which operates F-16C/D Viper fighter aircraft. These fly daily, though less regularly than the C-5 Galaxy cargo jets, which (if flying) will conduct pattern work for nearly the entire day. T-38 and T-6 trainer aircraft from Randolph may stop by Lackland for low passes of the runway. The contractor group RAVN operates their T-45 Hawk jets out of Lackland which, like the F-16s, typically fly daily, though their schedule is semi-irregular with flights not having a determined fixed schedule. Other visitors include US Navy and USMC jets, USAF heavies such as E-3s or RC-135s, and Fuerza Aerea Mexico cargo aircraft.
