ABOUT LUKE DAYS
About Luke Days Luke Field was initially activated when advanced single engine flying training began on 7 June 1941. When the field closed on 1 November 1946 it had produced over 17,000 graduates from fighter training for the nation's war efforts. With the advent of the Korean Conflict, the need for fighter aircrews resulted in the reactivation of Luke on 1 February 1951, this time as an air force base. That same year saw the first Luke Day Open House held. The event was held to give taxpayers a look at how the Air Force was spending their tax dollars. In the ensuing years the event was held every other year with Luke hosting a Luke Days Open House one year and Williams AFB in Chandler, Arizona, holding a Willy Days Open House the next. With the closure of Williams AFB in 1993, Luke initially held the open house annually then switched back to hosting the event every other year. The last Luke Days event held was a record-breaker when more than 275,000 visited the sprawling fighter training base on 19 and 20 March 2005.
