Little Rock Air Force Base (KLRF) is a United States Air Force installation located near Jacksonville, Arkansas, approximately 17 miles northeast of downtown Little Rock. It serves as a major military airfield rather than a commercial passenger airport, and is not open to general civilian air traffic. The base is home to the 19th Airlift Wing, which operates C-130J Super Hercules aircraft and is recognized as the largest C-130 wing in the Air Force. It also hosts the Little Rock AFB Flying Training Unit, making it the primary hub for C-130 aircrew training in the U.S. military. The installation plays a significant strategic role in airlift and airdrop operations, supporting both domestic and international missions. The base contributes substantially to the local Jacksonville and greater Little Rock economy through military employment and contracting.
