## Description

Sharing its runways with civilian Honolulu (HNL), the Hickam side of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam is one of the most important U.S. military airlift bases in the Pacific. It hosts the Pacific Air Forces headquarters and the 15th Wing, which flies C-17 Globemaster III airlifters alongside F-22 fighters. No commercial cargo is handled here; the loads are military. Civilian air freight for Oahu moves next door through HNL.
