About Keesler Air Force Base
Keesler Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation and military airfield in Biloxi, Mississippi, on the Gulf Coast. Activated in 1941 as an Army Air Corps technical training field and redesignated an Air Force base in 1948, it is home to the 81st Training Wing and Second Air Force, and it hosts the Air Force Reserve 403rd Wing with its C-130J weather reconnaissance mission.
The airfield operates a single runway, 04/22, measuring 7,630 feet, and serves military, government and authorized flights rather than scheduled commercial airline service. It lies within the city of Biloxi, roughly 90 miles east of New Orleans and about 60 miles west of Mobile, Alabama.
Access to the installation is controlled, and public commercial air service for the region is available at nearby Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. Road connections, including Interstate 110 and Highway 90, link the base to Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs and the coastal casino and resort areas.
For visitors arriving on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Keesler is close to Biloxi's hotels, beaches and casinos, with taxis, private transfers and rental cars readily available in the surrounding area.
