HOW DO I REQUEST A...

BASE TOUR

Base tours are offered to local civic organizations, schools and youth groups middle school age and older to educate people about the mission of the Indiana Air National Guard. Tours are free of charge and can be subject to last-minute cancellations due to mission requirements and resource availability. Tours for children under the age of 10 are considered on a case-by-case basis and must be requested by an INANG sponsor who will be able to accompany the group.

To request a tour, please download and fill out the Base Tour Request Form and send it to 122.FW.FW.PA.Org@us.af.mil. A Public Affairs representative will contact you to confirm the request was received and begin coordination if approved.

GUEST SPEAKER

The men and women of the Indiana Air National Guard make excellent guest speakers for civic organizations, schools, universities and community events. We can provide speakers for Veteran's Day, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, public observances, and many other appropriate public events. There are numerous topics we can discuss with the public to include Military Aviation, Leadership, Education Opportunities, Public Relations and Journalism. Requesters who wish to request other topics should contact the Public Affairs Office at (260) 478-3477.

To request a speaker from the 122nd Fighter Wing, event organizers should submit a completed DD Form 2536 (Request for Armed Forces Participation in Public Events) to 122.FW.FW.PA.Org@us.af.mil

Requests should be submitted 30 days prior to the event. Requests received after this deadline will not be considered.
FLYOVER OR STATIC DISPLAY

The flyover request and approval process is managed by accessing the U.S. Air Force Aerial Events website. Community members may submit requests, receive notification of approvals/denials, and track requests on this site. Once a request is approved by SAF/PA, it is the requestor's responsibility to find a unit to support the event. The site features a "find an aircraft" link that lists flying units in the local area and/or surrounding states. All questions pertaining to the approval process should be sent to USAFAerialEvents@mail.mil.

To request an A-10 flyover or static display support from the 122nd Fighter Wing, please email the SAF/PA approval number, date/time, location, detailed support requests, anticipated crowd size, and contact information to 122.FW.FW.PA.Org@us.af.mil. A Public Affairs representative will contact you to confirm the request was received.

Event approval by SAF/PA does not guarantee that support will be provided. The 122nd Fighter Wing flying unit will determine whether they are able to support the request based on availability, training schedule, etc. If the request is approved, a Public Affairs representative will contact you to confirm and the flying unit will also contact the event coordinator to finalize the details.

Please note flyover requests for civilian events will be limited to one of the five Patriotic Holidays traditionally supported by the service. Those events are: Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, POW/MIA Day, and Veterans Day, as well as for airshows and other aviation themed events. In addition, national-level sporting events will also be considered for eligibility. All other events will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
MILITARY SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC EVENT

The Indiana Air National Guard works diligently to be a good neighbor and community partner. As a community-based organization, the 122nd Fighter Wing and its airmen are extensively involved in local community organizations and often participate in, or support, the events they sponsor.

To request 122nd Fighter Wing to participate in or support your organizations special event with volunteers, a completed DD Form 2536 (Request for Armed Forces Participation in Public Events) should be sent to 122.FW.FW.PA.Org@us.af.mil at least 30 days prior to the event.

A Public Affairs representative will review and validate the legal propriety of all public requests, and then put out a call across the organization for volunteers. Volunteers are not typically provided in an "official" capacity. The Air National Guard, as a government institution, refrains from endorsing specific organizations or events that it does not officially sponsor. Instead, it is up to the individual Guard members to decide whether they volunteer their time. Additionally, there are a number of state and federal restrictions on how we can support organizations and events.

Event organizers should also be aware that mission requirements may, on occasion, prevent our members from supporting off-base events.
