History
On March 4, 1970, the first C-130s arrived at Little Rock Air Force Base, and within days, the entire fleet had arrived. The first C-130E Hercules, christened “The City of Jacksonville,” led a formation of nine C-130s. The aircraft assigned to the 61st Tactical Airlift Squadron 64th, Tactical Airlift Wing transferred from Sewart AFB, Tennessee. With the 64th TAW managing the C-130 operations missions and the 4442nd Combat Crew Training Wing performing the training mission, Little Rock AFB had become the home of the Herc. While units have changed over the years, the mission has remained the same for the last 45 years.
