Team Little Rock will be opening our gates to welcome our community partners on the anniversary of the U.S Air Force.
“We are going to bring all facets of our military, our reservists, our citizen soldiers, our Guardsmen, our active duty, our civilians and our contractors and showcase what they bring to the fight on behalf of the state of Arkansas and the nation each and every day,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Charles Brown, 19th Airlift Wing commander.
The event will include festivities such as aircraft demonstrations, static displays, a C-130J cargo drop demonstration, and multiple vendors.
