Biggs Army Airfield

Biggs Army Airfield
El Paso, Texas (TX), US
Former Biggs Air Force Base. Nation's third longest airfield.

Biggs Airfield continues to host C-5A Galaxies and other Air Force airlift aircraft which transport personnel and equipment on rotation to Southwest Asia and other theaters of operation. Because of its heavy-duty and extra-long runway, Biggs occasionally accommodates a specially equipped Boeing 747 as it carries a space shuttle to Kennedy space Center in Florida from Edwards Air Force Base in California.
