JAMES CONNALLY AIR FORCE BASE. James Connally Air Force Base, located seven miles northeast of Waco, was initially a basic pilot-training school. It opened as Waco Army Air Field on May 5, 1942, and became headquarters for the Army Air Force Central Instructors' School in February 1945. The base was inactive from late 1945 to 1948, when it was reactivated as a basic pilot-training school. On June 10, 1949, the name was changed to Connally Air Force Base in memory of Col. James T. Connally, a local pilot killed in Japan in 1945.
By 1951 the name had been changed to James Connally Air Force Base, and all pilot training had been discontinued.

Berdstrom Air Force base - but it was part of the base closures several years ago. The Waco Airport took over the facilities and expanded commercial airline services from there.

Cameron Park Zoo. There are also awesome mountain biking trails in Cameron Park (outside the zoo). Dr Pepper museum. That is it. We also stop by at IHOP there sometimes. Not very impressive...
