Rosecrans Meml Airport is in St Joseph, Missouri. Field elevation is 826.5 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 8,061 ft. Runway 17/35 is 8,061 ft concrete. Runway 13/31 is 4,797 ft concrete.
The control tower is open Wednesday through Thursday from 0800 to 0000 local. Friday through Tuesday it is open 0800 to 1800 local. Tower service is OTS by NOTAM outside those hours. One ILS approach is published for runway 35. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
PAN AM Flight Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note limited fuel operations. They also note extremely limited parking and that airfield conditions are not monitored overnight. Expect military activity on the field. Bird activity can also be a factor, especially during the published hazard periods. Runway 13/31 has special use restrictions for some passenger operations. If you are planning anything outside a normal light-aircraft stop, check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before you launch. The field is close to the Missouri River and lakes. Watch for local weather changes and bird traffic on arrival.
