Sioux City Air National Guard Base, Air National Guard facility in Sioux City, Iowa, United States.
The military installation at Sioux Gateway Airport houses the 185th Air Refueling Wing, operating KC-135 tanker aircraft for worldwide refueling missions.
Established in March 1942 as Sioux City Army Air Base, the facility served as a training center for B-24 Liberators and B-17 Flying Fortresses.
Military personnel at the base maintain strong connections with Siouxland residents through community events and emergency response collaborations throughout Iowa.
The base features two runways, with the primary concrete runway measuring 9,002 feet and the secondary asphalt runway extending 6,600 feet.
In 1989, the base personnel provided critical emergency response during United Airlines Flight 232's landing, which experienced complete hydraulic failure.
