Thaden Field FBO
VBT · VBTWalmart's hometown boutique FBO — close-in GA airport two miles from downtown Bentonville and the Crystal Bridges Museum. Best for lighter jets and turboprops; heavier corporate traffic uses XNA (~12 mi).
Thaden is the close-in field; Northwest Arkansas National (XNA) handles heavier tails, customs, and the main Walmart/Tyson/J.B. Hunt corporate gateway. We deliver to whichever field your aircraft uses.
What we plan around at VBT.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
Boutique field — aircraft size matters.
Thaden is small (a grass strip runs alongside the paved runway); lighter jets and turboprops operate here. Heavier and large-cabin tails use XNA, ~12 miles away, with two long runways. We confirm the field and pack to the actual tail.
Walmart supplier traffic.
The corporate story here is the supplier ecosystem — vendors flying in to meet Walmart (plus Tyson in Springdale and J.B. Hunt in Lowell). Year-round weekday demand across both fields.
No on-site customs.
International clears at XNA.

We deliver to VBT or XNA depending on the aircraft and the meeting location.
Crystal Bridges and culture.
Alice Walton's museum draws a separate VIP stream worth knowing.
