Runway layout at FSD Sioux Falls Regional Airport (IATA: FSD, ICAO: KFSD, FAA LID: FSD), also known as Joe Foss Field, is a joint civil and military use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Sioux Falls, a city in Minnehaha County, South Dakota, United States. Named in honor of aviator Joe Foss, it serves the greater Sioux Falls area, as well as communities throughout eastern South Dakota, southwestern Minnesota and northwestern Iowa.
Also located here is the Joe Foss Field Air National Guard Station, home to Headquarters, South Dakota Air National Guard and its 114th Fighter Wing (114 FW), an Air Combat Command gained unit known as the "Fighting Lobos" and operating F-16C/D aircraft.
Although the South Dakota Adjutant General is based in Camp Rapid in Rapid City, South Dakota, the South Dakota Air National Guard is effectively headquartered with the 114 FW.
FSD has public Wi-Fi available provided by Midcontinent Communications. History
Sioux Falls Regional Airport was originally the Sioux Falls Army Air Base constructed during World War II and closed permanently in the mid-1960s. The base was a logistical supply center and its grid of streets now make up a distinct industrial area in northwest Sioux Falls. The Air National Guard Base portion of the airport is located south and west of the commercial and general aviation areas, north of Russell Street, and has all the standard facilities of any small USAF installation except for family housing. The 114th's F-16C and F-16D aircraft are a frequent sight over the Sioux Falls area, conducting training flights and routine operations.
Facilities and aircraft
Joe Foss Field covers an area of 1,570 acres (635 ha) at an elevation of 1,429 feet (436 m) above mean sea level. It has three concrete paved runways 3/21 is 8,999 by 150 feet (2,743 x 46 m); 15/33 is 8,000 by 150 feet (2,438 x 46 m); 9/27 is 3,152 by 75 feet (961 x 23 m). It also one helipad designated H1 which is 50 by 50 feet (15 x 15 m) with an asphalt surface.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, the airport had 86,107 aircraft operations, an average of 235 per day: 54% general aviation, 31% air taxi, 10% scheduled commercial, and 5% military. At that time there were 111 aircraft based at this airport: 50% single-engine, 31% multi-engine, 4% jet and 16% military.
Airport renovation and expansion
Beginning in spring 2009, the Sioux Falls Regional Airport started expanding and remodeling the Costello Terminal. Tasks at hand included adding more windows, opening up more room in the check-in area, moving all TSA screening equipment behind the ticket counters, adding more electronic ticket kiosks, and expanding floor space on the entire main level. The estimated cost of the terminal renovation and expansion is approximately $7,000,000. The contract for this project was awarded in April 2009 to Hoogendorn Construction of Canton, South Dakota. Initially, a lawsuit was filed by several other local contractors that challenged the legitimacy of Hoogendorns' bid on the basis that the company did not have enough experience to undertake the project. In early July 2009, a judge dismissed the lawsuit against the airport authority allowing Hoogendorn Construction to begin work immediately. Groundbreaking took place in late July 2009 and the project is expected to take 18 months to complete. As of May 2010, the first phase of the terminal renovation was completed. The second phase of the renovation which will include a new gift shop should be completed by December 2010. The aging concourse is also undergoing a major renovation both inside and out with an estimated price tag of $5,500,000 that started in early July 2010. Among the improvements being made, two new jetbridges will be installed to help accommodate additional traffic, a new restaurant and lounge area are also being added, and new restrooms and waiting areas are being built to accommodate more travelers. The concourse renovations should be complete within 18 to 24 months. A runway repaving project was completed in mid-2009 and discussions are now underway to add a new cross-field taxiway and also to repair and repave the intersection where the two longest runways meet. The airport's parking operations will be updated beginning in late 2010-early 2011 at a cost of approximately $4,000,000; this will include repaving nearly all of the 3 parking lots, adding new parking spaces, and reconfiguring the entrances and exits to the parking lots.
