Description

Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE) has served for over 100 years as a cornerstone of American military aviation.

The base has served as a flight test center for US Navy seaplanes and observation/spotter aircraft, as well as the ill-fated Roma airship.

Additionally, JBLE was one of the first US Air Force (USAF) bases to operate the advanced Lockheed F-22 Raptor.

In 1921, Langley Field served as the launching point for Gen.

William "Billy" Mitchell's US Army Air Service efforts in historic battleship bombing flight experiments.

Prior to World War II, Langley Field became the first US Army Air Corps base to operate the Boeing YB-17, prototype of the famous B-17 Flying Fortress.

During the latter half of the 20th century, Langley Air Force Base served as the headquarters for the Tactical Air Command (TAC) and the Air Combat Command (ACC).

JBLE still serves as ACC headquarters.
