Bradley ANGB

East Granby, Connecticut, United States

Space-A flights at Bradley Air National Guard Base are processed in Building 35 by the Connecticut Air National Guard's 103rd Airlift Wing in East Granby. The Flying Yankees fly C-130H Hercules from a Guard ramp adjacent to Bradley International Airport. Official wing pages list the air terminal on the Guard side of the civil field, not inside the commercial passenger complex. This Connecticut Guard terminal is a separate operation from Bangor Air National Guard Base in Maine.

Terminal FAQ

Last verified 27 August 2026. Hours, fees, and presence rules change. Confirm with this terminal’s official page before you travel. Pop’s is unofficial.

Where is the passenger terminal?

Bradley Air National Guard Base, 161 Rainbow Rd, East Granby, CT 06026, Building 35, Air Terminal.

Workbook address matches the official Space-A page. GPS Building 35 / 161 Rainbow Rd, not a generic Bradley International Airport (BDL) commercial-terminal pin. On the ANG base. No official terminal-map URL.

How do I get on base / which gate should I use?

The Space-A page does not name a passenger gate or VCC clock. Contact Us lists Public Affairs 860-292-2460, recruiting, SARC, Family Support — not the air terminal. Confirm access with 103d LRS via the Space-A email / AMC passenger-service number before a weekend show (counter is Mon–Thu only). CAC / DoD ID holders use an open vehicle-access gate. Do not invent a 24/7 BDL civilian-airport walk-up onto the ANG ramp.

What are hours, phone, DSN, and email?

Hours (official Space-A page — wins): Monday–Thursday, 7 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Check-in two hours prior in Building 35. Friday–Sunday are not in that clock (missions still possible — use the on-page 72-hour table / recording; do not invent Friday hours).

Phones — do not silently pick; labels differ:

| Label | Number | Where printed | |---|---|---| | AMC passenger-service / workbook commercial | (860) 292-2352 | Live AMC ANG & Reserve row; 103 AW Benefits “103d LRS Air Terminal Services” POC | | 72 Hour Flight Recording | (860) 292-2579 | Official Space-A page | | Recording DSN (as printed on the Space-A page) | (312) 220-2579 | Official Space-A page | | AMC directory DSN | (312) 220-2352 | Live AMC row (passenger-service DSN) |

Do not publish (312) as a commercial number. Dial 860. Page recording DSN subscriber 220-2579; AMC passenger-service DSN subscriber 220-2352.

Email (official Space-A page / workbook — page wins): 103.aw.lrs.space.a.org@us.af.mil

Live AMC directory email cell: Email: Please Call. Page wins. Unofficial spacea.net spacea.103aw@ang.af.mil is a stale lead — not used.

Bradley is not on the HQ AMC 40-location form.

How do I sign up for Space-A?

Official page (four-step SOP):

1. Eligibility — use the on-page category table (DoDI 4515.13). Printed CONUS/OCONUS yes/no grid for Cat III active duty/AGR and Cat VI retirees / RC “gray area.” 2. Sign-up — send AMC Form 140 to 103.aw.lrs.space.a.org@us.af.mil NLT 1200L the day prior. Email must name the Space-A flight you want and your military status (Active Duty/AGR, DSG/Traditional Reservist, Civilian, etc.). Form download is linked on the page. 3. Confirmation — you will receive an email by 1700L the day prior. Do not assume you are signed up until you receive email confirmation. 4. Documentation at check-in (below).

ATTENTION block: sign up NLT 1200L the day prior. Flights will be removed from advertisement if there are no passengers registered.

HQ AMC does not process this location. Print the confirmation. This FAQ did not call or email.

How and when do I mark present?

Check-in is conducted two (2) hours prior to departure in Building 35, Air Terminal. Remote email is not presence. Have the step-4 documents. The page does not use the phrase “mark present”; the two-hour Building 35 check-in is the show.

When is roll call?

Not published as a roll-call product URL. Official page prints in-person check-in two hours prior in Building 35 — not a separate roll-call PDF. The 72-HOUR SCHEDULE table on the same page includes a SHOW TIME column (example capture had “0915, Bdg 35”). This FAQ does not copy that table’s dates, destinations, or seat counts. Recheck the live page / recording.

When should duty / PE passengers check in?

Two hours prior in Building 35 is the printed check-in. No PE 24-hour early-bird clock (not a PE gateway). Late without a confirmation email: do not assume boarding.

Does this terminal operate Patriot Express flights? If yes, to where?

Not published as a PE gateway. No 30-day PE product. On-page traffic is organic ANG airlift (C-130). Do not treat a dated 72-hour row as a standing rotator. This FAQ does not quote live seats.

Where is short-term and long-term parking, max days, and pass rules?

Not published. No Gram. Do not invent a max-day figure or a BDL garage rule.

What lodging is nearby on-base and off-base?

Not published. No matching Air Force Inns property for Bradley ANGB / 103 AW / East Granby on af.dodlodging.net (27 Aug 2026). Official Space-A page tells travelers to have funds for commercial lodging; it does not name an inn. Do not invent a hotel. No rates.

Is there a USO, food, Wi-Fi, showers, lockers?

Not published on the Space-A page. Do not invent terminal snacks.

What documents are required?

Day-of check-in (page step 4):

  • All passengers: AMC Form 140 and a valid military ID and passport (if required)
  • Active Duty / AGR: AF Form 988 Leave Request/Authorization
  • Traditional Reservists / DSG: DD Form 1853 Verification of Reserve Status

Have them on your person. Eligibility still follows DoDI 4515.13.

What are baggage limits and Space-A/PE fees if published?

Bags (official page, as printed): two bags per person, limited to 70 pounds per bag and exceeding the dimensions of 62 linear inches; one carry-on plus one personal item that must fit under any aircraft seat.

Wording conflict on the same official sentence: AMC-standard language is not exceeding 62 linear inches. Bradley’s HTML currently prints “exceeding.” Flagged; quoted as printed; not silently corrected. Confirm with 103d LRS if a bag is near 62 linear inches.

PE fee: not published.

Can I travel with pets from here?

Not published as a Bradley pet-slot / kennel policy. See the AMC Pet Travel page. Organic C-130 leftover is not a PE pet program.

Where are schedules posted?

On the official Space-A page (also the APPROVED 72-hour URL): 72-HOUR SCHEDULE table (departures, show time, Building 35). 72 Hour Flight Recording (860) 292-2579. Recheck the live table the day before — this FAQ does not quote live seats or destinations.

No roll-call PDF, no 30-day PE product, no passenger-terminal Facebook (footer facebook.com/103aw/ is the wing page). No AMC Gram. Flights pulled if nobody registers.

AMC says the webpage is 101arw.ang.af.mil — is that Bradley?

No. That is Bangor, Maine (101 ARW). Official Bradley page is https://www.103aw.ang.af.mil/Space-Available-Travel/ AMC webpage cell is wrong. AMC commercial (860) 292-2352** is still the passenger-service number printed on 103 AW Benefits.

(860) 292-2352 or (860) 292-2579?

2352 = AMC / Benefits passenger-service POC. 2579 = Space-A page 72-hour recording. Print both; do not silently merge.

Do I wait for the confirmation email?

Yes. Page: confirmation by 1700L the day prior. Do not assume signup until confirmed. Sign-up NLT 1200L the day prior.

What if nobody else signs up?

Flights will be removed from advertisement if there are no passengers registered. Do not fly commercial to BDL on a listing you have not confirmed.

Open-toe / open-heel shoes?

Prohibited on organic aircraft. Shoes with heels not authorized on the KC-46; allowed on other government aircraft if they have a wide base.

Disabled passengers — wheelchair?

Page: passengers must be able to climb ladders, move without mechanical assistance (wheelchair or walker), and egress without impeding others. There will be times passengers cannot be accepted for safety. Do not assume a cabin lift.

Is Friday a duty day at this counter?

Hours are Mon–Thu 7 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Friday is not in that clock. Check the 72-hour table / recording for a Friday mission; do not invent Friday office hours.

Can I use spacea.103aw@ang.af.mil?

Unofficial / stale (spacea.net). Not used. Official: 103.aw.lrs.space.a.org@us.af.mil.

Is Bradley on the HQ AMC 40-location form?

No. Email the 103 AW mailbox directly. The March 2026 AMC self-signup tool is for AMC locations; this is ANG.

62 linear inches — “exceeding” or “not exceeding”?

Quoted as the page prints (“exceeding”). Flag vs standard AMC not exceeding. Confirm with the desk.

Distinct from Bangor?

Yes. Bangor = 101 ARW, Maine, recording/manifest 207-404-xxxx, roll call Bldg 491. Bradley = 103 AW, Connecticut, Bldg 35, email confirmation SOP.
