Summary
San Antonio’s Fort Sam Houston birthed U.S. military aviation in 1910 when Lt. Benjamin Foulois, self-taught via mail with the Wright brothers, founded the first Army airplane unit—the Aero Squadron. His grit sparked a nationwide flight training network, cementing San Antonio as “Military City USA.” Today, Randolph Air Force Base remains the Air Force’s premier pilot training hub, blending vintage T-38 Talons with cutting-edge T-7A Red Hawks—preparing next-gen fifth and sixth generation pilots for the future of combat aviation.
