LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. -- Although Little Rock Air Force Base is thought of as only home to Airmen, it also hosts the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training. Approximately 250 students graduate per year at Little Rock AFB because the base hosts C-130J and C-130H model aircraft and is home to all initial C-130 training. Students develop their skills to either become power plant mechanics, airframes hydraulics technicians or safety and survival technicians. Little Rock AFB coordinates with other military services to continue supporting the mission of producing premiere C-130 airlift.
