Long Airfield was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate on 25 March 1986.

[3] Long Airfield and some associated facilities were considered for listing on the Northern Territory Heritage Register beginning with a nomination in 2002 and concluding with the lapsing of the nomination in 2013 due to the objections to the proposed listing by the owner of the land.

[2] B-24 Liberators from the 529th and 531st Bomb Squadrons moved to Long Field from Manbulloo Airfield and attacked Japanese airfields, ground installations, shipping, and industries in the Netherlands East Indies and the Bismarck Archipelago.

Other missions included disruption of enemy sea channels; dropping photoflash bombs and propaganda pamphlets.
