Hattiesburg Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) southeast of the central business district of Hattiesburg, a city in Forrest County, Mississippi, United States. The airport serves the general aviation community and also some Federal and Military aviation.

History: On 8 December 1941, the military took over the airport and the Hattiesburg Army Airfield was opened and assigned to the Third Air Force. The first mission of the new airfield was antisubmarine patrols along the Gulf of Mexico coastline. in early June 1942, the 21st Bombardment Group dispatched the 313th Bombardment Squadron, flying B-25 Mitchells from the airfield. In early 1945, military activities were phased down, and the Air Force put Hattiesburg on standby inactive status. Return to full civil control was made in April 1946.
