LAB TOUR:

The lab tour will be held on 04 April 2019.

Up to three (3) representatives may attend from each company (no Foreign Nationals).

The tour will begin at 1:00 PM EST, and is expected to take one hour.

To attend you are required to RSVP and submit a visitor’s request to gain temporary access to Wright-Patterson AFB. Submit the following: full name (as it appears on your driver’s license), email address, driver’s license number, and state of issue. This information is required to run a background check. Due to privacy concerns, submission cannot be completed via email. Submissions can be accomplished by calling John Wertz at (937) 255-2718 NO LATER THAN 28 March 2019. Requests submitted later than this date will likely result in delays in obtaining base access, potentially resulting in company representatives being unable to attend the tour. Passes will be emailed at least one day in advance of the lab tour. If you do not receive a pass via email, visitors must visit Pass and Registration, located in Area A, Building 286, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. Please ensure that you budget extra time on 04 April 2019 if you need to go to Pass and Registration.
