Joslin Field/Magic Valley Airport

History of the KTWF Airport

The KTWF airport, also known as the Joslin Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport, is a public airport located in Twin Falls, Idaho. It was originally established in 1939 as a grass landing strip, and was named after local Sergent Raymond Joslin who was the first air crew member from Twin Falls County to be killed in WWII.

In the early 1940s, the airport was used as a training base for the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. After the war, it was returned to the City of Twin Falls and was used for general aviation purposes.

In the 1960s, the airport underwent significant expansion and modernization, with the addition of a paved runway, a terminal building, and other facilities. This expansion allowed the airport to accommodate larger commercial aircraft and to serve as a hub for air travel in the Magic Valley region.

Since then, the KTWF airport has continued to grow and evolve. It has added additional flights and airlines, as well as a number of amenities for travelers such as a restaurant, rental car agencies, and retail stores.

Today, the KTWF airport is an important transportation hub and economic driver for the Twin Falls area. It is used by both commercial and private pilots, and is home to a number of aviation-related businesses. It is also actively involved in the community, hosting events such as fly-ins and airshows.

Overall, the KTWF airport has a rich history and has played a vital role in the development and growth of the Twin Falls area.
