James Connally Air Force Base History and PIT Plan
James Connally began as Waco Army Air Field in 1942 under Gulf Coast Training Command led by Lt. Col. Sprague. The base expanded to 2,091 acres and trained pilots, later becoming Connally AFB and then JC, now offering undergraduate navigators training with 1,281 students in the UNT program and allied cadets from many nations. A proposed Primary Pilot Instructor School aims to add T 37 training, with phased implementation through 1962, boosting flights, instructors, and local economic impact while maintaining JC's strong safety record.
