This week, Lt. Troy Smith celebrated the end of an absolutely incredible career with the STL Airport Police, surrounded by the team he’s served alongside for decades.

Lt. Troy, enjoy your next chapter. You’ve earned it!

This Alaska Airlines aircraft stopped by STL featuring a design centered on the power of education, a reminder that learning has the ability to open doors, create opportunities, and shape what comes next!

This is Rum. Yes, like Captain Morgan… but with a badge!

At 5 years old, this German Shorthaired Pointer is the newest addition to STL’s Airport Police K-9 Unit and is currently in training. Keep an eye out for him this spring as he works hard toward certification.

A few years ago, Levi Brunk appeared in an STL ad for The Magic House when he was just three years old. Fast forward to recently, when Levi visited the airport again at age five to recreate the moment in front of the very same display.

It’s safe to say he’s grown just a little… but the magic is still there!

This Alaska Airlines aircraft recently touched down at the airport, a flying tribute recognizing members of the U.S. military and those who dedicate their lives to service.

We’re always glad to see meaningful liveries like this one pass through STL!

As part of the “Tuskegee Airmen: America’s Freedom Flyers” exhibit, STL is proud to showcase a replica of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the Tuskegee Airmen in 2006, the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow.

The exhibit, now on display in the Kling Family Gallery, honors the first African American military aviators in the U.S. Air Force and their lasting impact on aviation and American history.

Blink, and you’ll miss it!

Winter Storm Fern may have slowed things down, but it didn’t stop STL.

Thanks to the dedication of our operations teams, partners, and crews across the airport, runways were cleared, safety came first, and travel continued. Stay warm!
