LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- For over twelve years Starbase Kelly, sponsored by the 433 AW, has offered a
FUN, educational program for kids from the school districts around Kelly Field. This summer we want to again offer the same program to kids of Lackland AFB. We'll do aircraft tours, scientific experiments, teamwork and goal setting exercises, rocket building and launching, and computer flight simulation. We'll prove that kids can learn and have fun at the same time.
