Homestead Air Reserve Base, listed as KHST, is a military airfield east of Homestead, Florida, equipped with a single long, hard-surfaced runway and full instrument approach facilities. It serves as a US Air Force Reserve installation and is of interest to simulator pilots for its ILS-equipped runway and distinctive military radio environment.
Homestead ARB Airport, identified as KHST, is a military airfield serving as an Air Force Reserve installation near Homestead, Florida. The presence of a dedicated 93rd Fighter Squadron frequency in its radio listing points to an active fast-jet operating unit based on the field, and the long ILS-equipped runway makes it a useful reference point for simulator pilots exploring military airfields in South Florida.
The airfield lies approximately three miles east of the town of Homestead, Florida, in south Florida (SkyVector). As an active military installation, pilots should expect the field and its surrounding airspace to be operated under military control procedures rather than typical civil arrangements.
KHST has a single physical runway, 06/24, 11,200 feet long with a hard surface and lit for night operations. An instrument landing system serves runway 06, providing precision approach guidance for arrivals from that direction.
Radio services at KHST include Approach/Departure and Ground Controlled Approach on 123.8 MHz, Tower on 133.45 MHz, Ground on 121.75 MHz, and ATIS on 132.275 MHz. Additional frequencies serve base operations, including Clearance Delivery on 27.58 MHz, Operations on 138.025 MHz, the 93rd Fighter Squadron PMSV Metro on 31.865 MHz, Command Post on 25.21 MHz, and a further Command Post link on 37.22 MHz.
Homestead ARB Airport continues to function as an active Air Force Reserve installation, with radio listings indicating operational links to the 93rd Fighter Squadron and base command post functions. As an active military airfield, general civil access is restricted, and pilots should expect operations to be conducted under military air traffic control procedures rather than typical civilian airfield practice.
