Surviving the Norwegian Foot March

Team Little Rock History Fact of the Week
336 days to go until LRAFB turns 60!
On Nov. 6, 1953, construction began at Little Rock Air Force Base. Initial construction was started by Air Force engineers, but later in the month contractors began clearing, grading and building drainage systems. Houses, fences, railway tracks, warehouses and trees were cleared from more than 300 acres of land. The original base plan called for two runways. The first runway, considered the main runway, occupies its present site. The second runway was to extend from the northeast end of the main runway parralle to present-day Maddox Road but was not finished due to construction costs and mission changes. The design plan was intended to support the rapid deployment of the B-47 and RB-47 bomber aircraft, which the U.S. Air Force assigned to Little Rock AFB.. (Courtesy photo)
