The roar of military aircraft has been a feature of life in Sioux Falls for decades – what some call the sound of freedom. An effort is underway to keep it that way.
Business leaders and others are asking the Air Force to equip the 114th Fighter Wing in Sioux Falls with new F-35 fighter jets. The F-35s are a fifth-generation fighter expected to be in service for decades, and they would ensure the place of the 114th in the nation’s security structure.
