Location
Wichita Falls, United States
Wichita Falls Municipal Airport / Sheppard Air Force Base (SPS/KSPS) is a joint-use facility shared between commercial aviation and the United States Air Force, located in Wichita Falls, Texas. The airport serves the civilian population of the Wichita Falls region while simultaneously hosting significant military training operations at the adjacent Sheppard AFB.
Sheppard Air Force Base is home to the 82nd Training Wing, one of the largest technical training wings in the Air Force, and also serves as the base for Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT), a multinational pilot training program. The shared-use arrangement between the municipal airport and the military installation makes it a unique dual-purpose facility.
On the commercial side, the airport offers limited scheduled passenger service, connecting Wichita Falls to major hub airports. Its relatively small size means the terminal footprint is modest, catering primarily to regional travelers.
