Originally Hensley Field, an Army Air Force Reserve Base, the facility became Naval Air Station Dallas in 1949. Decommissioned on September 26, 1998, with its component commands relocating to Joint Reserve Base Carswell in Fort Worth.
The former NAS Dallas was later recommissioned as it is today as the Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex, with the half that housed the aircraft-related facilities (such as the runway, hangars, etc.) going to the Texas Air National Guard, and the half with the bulk of non-aircraft related facilities going to the U.S. Army Reserve and a small area to Marine Forces Reserve. Vought Aircraft Industries operates a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) plant adjacent to NAS Dallas.
