Challenge
The U.S. Air Force’s Initial Flight Training (IFT) Program needed its own space to continue safely operating out of the Pueblo Memorial Airport.
Solution
The SEH team designed a 4,600-foot runway that was added to the regional airport with additional taxiways and connections. The runway will accommodate 160,000 annual training operations for U.S. Air Force pilots-in-training.
