Space-A Scout

Space-A Scout beta

Fly Space-A like you've done it a hundred times. Live boards, real roll-call results, and alerts — built by a retired Marine who's stood in those terminals.

✈ 100+ terminals · refreshed hourly 📋 Roll-call receipts — who actually got on 🔔 Free push + email alerts

Where do you want to go?

Type a base or a whole region — Ramstein, Germany, Japan, Hawaii — and see every flight heading that way, plus the roll-call history behind it.

New to Space-A? How the game works — 3 steps
  1. Sign up early. Email every terminal you might fly out of — it's free, no commitment, and good for 60 days. Do it 45–50 days before you want to travel. Every terminal below has a one-click "Sign up by email" button (fill your traveler profile once and it writes the email for you).
  2. Set a watch. Tell us where you want to go and we'll ping your phone and inbox the moment a matching flight hits the boards.
  3. Compete at roll call. Schedules only firm up 72 hours out. Show up early, mark yourself present, and when they call your category — you're flying.

Watch a destination — get pinged when flights post

Add a destination (e.g., Ramstein, Japan, Hawaii). When a matching flight shows up on any schedule refresh, you get a push notification. Free while in beta.

Your traveler profile — auto-fills terminal sign-up emails

Fill this once and every "Sign up by email" button writes the whole email for you — name, category, party size, the works. This stays on your device. I don't store your profile on my servers, and that's on purpose.

Eyes on the ground — every scout makes the network stronger

Some terminals never post their schedules online — Facebook only, or just a slide taped up behind the counter. That's where you come in. Standing in one of those terminals? Snap a photo of the schedule board, or forward the terminal's post, to fly@spaceascout.com and tell us which terminal. We'll get it on the boards with a "traveler-reported" tag, and the traveler coming through behind you gets intel they couldn't find anywhere else.

This community has always run on exactly that — somebody ahead of you marking the trail. A thirty-second photo from you might be the reason a retired Gunny and his wife make the Germany bird next week. Be the scout who called it in.

Send schedule intel

The Scout Report — free intel drops

I read these schedules every day so you don't have to. Drop your email and I'll send occasional dispatches: route trends, PE calendar changes, and hard-won lessons from the terminals. No spam, no selling your address — Marine's word.
