Space-A flights by base

By Luke Connally, USMC, Retired · Updated September 2026 · Built from roll calls the terminals themselves published

Most Space-A advice tells you to be flexible and patient. That is true and it is not much help when you are trying to pick a terminal. These pages answer the harder question: what actually flew out of each place, where it went, and how often Category VI got called. The record covers 8,015 flights from 27 terminals since September 2025.

Read both columns together. They answer different questions. The percentage says how often Category VI got called when a flight went out. The flight count says how many chances there were to begin with. A terminal with a lower rate and five hundred flights on record can be the better bet, because you get more swings at it.

What these numbers are

Every figure comes from roll-call results the terminals publish themselves, collected daily and counted the same way for every base. Most of these records start in September 2025, though a few terminals began publishing later, so each page states its own window rather than pretending they all match.

Terminals miss days and some flights never reach the public boards, so the real totals run higher than any tracker can see. The Category VI column only appears where a terminal reported enough results to say anything honest, which is why a couple read "not reported" instead of a number. Space-A Scout watches more than a hundred terminals in all. These 27 are the ones that publish roll-call results in a form worth counting, and the list grows as more of them start posting.
