Phone System<br />
The 911 emergency system is used at <strong>Little</strong> Rock AFB<br />
and in the surrounding area just as it is within the rest of<br />
the United States and Canada. Dialing 911 from an onbase<br />
or off-base phone connects to an operator who can<br />
immediately arrange for police, fire or medical service to<br />
respond appropriately to an emergency.<br />
Dialing a call from office to office on base or making a<br />
call to base housing requires dialing seven digits.<br />
To call off base from an official phone, first dial 99, then<br />
the seven-digit number for numbers within the 501 area<br />
code. Calls to other area codes require a PIN and can be<br />
obtained from your unit telephone control officer. From<br />
base housing, dial the seven-digit number for calls within<br />
the 501 area code, or 1, area code and number for calls<br />
outside the 501 area code.<br />
DSN service is available from official phones on base.<br />
To call, first dial 94, then the seven-digit number.<br />
The C-130A on static display at the main gate is one of the more famous of the Herks used<br />
by the Air Force for the past half century. This aircraft was actually the last one out of Saigon<br />
in the spring of 1975 when the armies of North Vietnam overran South Vietnam.<br />
Flown by a Vietnamese flight crew, this aircraft set a record which will likely never be<br />
challenged. When it landed in Thailand several hours later, after getting lost and wandering out<br />
over the South China Sea, more than 450 people came down the ramp. Some 32 of these<br />
people actually rode in the cockpit.<br />
The story is that in Saigon, as the plane prepared to take off,<br />
hundreds and hundreds of refugees made their way to the airport to<br />
try and get aboard any plane going anywhere. These refugees<br />
surged up the ramp as the C-130 prepared for take-off. The plane<br />
prepared to taxi, but it was so crowded that the crew chief could not<br />
raise the ramp. Informed of this problem, the pilot began taxiing and<br />
then slammed on the brakes, which caused everybody in the aircraft<br />
to jolt forward. This created just enough space to raise the ramp.<br />
The ramp was quickly hoisted into position and every inch of runway<br />
was used to stagger into the air with a grossly overloaded aircraft.<br />
