Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call, and the fear is that nothing is left by then. The record at Travis AFB says otherwise: 95 percent of the 503 reported flights had room by the time Cat VI was called. Those are good odds by any standard.

By raw volume, July and January saw the most departures in the year ending September 2026, and February the fewest. A busy month means more chances, not better odds, and both numbers matter when you pick a window.

How to sign up

Sign-up is free and does not commit you to anything. You can email the terminal at 60aps.SpaceA@us.af.mil (the email doubles as your dated proof of sign-up), use the AMC online sign-up portal and call (707) 424-5774 / (707) 424-1854 to confirm anything time-sensitive. Do it 45 to 60 days before you want to travel, because your place in line at roll call is your sign-up date, and a sign-up is good for 60 days.

One caution worth passing on. These counts cover the roll calls that get published. Terminals miss days and some flights never make the public boards, so the true number is higher than any tracker can see. And the terminal always has the final word: call before you drive.
