Whiteman AFB's B-2 Spirit fleet and Boeing's F-15/F/A-18 lines in St. Louis give Missouri serious military-aviation muscle; Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) anchors GA and Rosecrans ANGB (St. Joseph) flies C-130s.
Best season: April–June and September–October are best; humid Ozark summers fuel convective lines, and winter icing bounds the year.
Airspace: St. Louis Lambert (KSTL) Class C and busy Spirit field GA; Whiteman AFB's MOAs and restricted areas plus Fort Leonard Wood airspace fill the center of the state.
