Littlerock AFB Monthly CHUM official website (AF Portal page) This site allows the user to check for CHUM updates from any computer with internet access (provided the user can access the AF Portal). Here are several PowerPoint presentations that are updated monthly for Littlerock AFB standard routes. I use FalconView, so it's not only very accurate, it's MAJCOM approved.
