RTAG will be hosting our popular annual convention in the fall of 2022. Texas is home to 15 military bases, an easily accessible airport and a strong aviation community, making it the perfect spot to celebrate the inevitable return of this industry. The RTAG Convention will be the last major event for 2022 and will provide civilian recruiters, military representatives, vendors, flight schools, and related sponsors the best convention value possible.
