Fleming Field es un pequeño aeródromo ubicado en la ciudad de South Saint Paul y administrado por el gobierno local. Ubicado a menos de 10 minutos de Saint Paul, actualmente posee una pista de 1000 metros pavimentada.
Durante los años 50 y 60 dicho aeropuerto fue el principal centro de operaciones de Winzen Inc., una de las mas importantes firmas de construcción y operación de globos estratosféricos. La cercanía con la planta principal de la compañia en Minneapolis hizo que durante mucho tiempo se lo utilizara para ensayos de nuevos modelos de balones, vuelos tecnológicos y un sinnumero de experiencias científicas.
En 1957, Fleming Field fue el sitio elegido para el lanzamiento del primer vuelo tripulado del programa MANHIGH de la fuerza aérea, comandado por el Teniente Joseph Kittinger. Según nuestros registros los ultimos lanzamientos desde allí datan de mediados de los años 60's.
Actualmente, en el sitio funciona además del aeropuerto, un importante museo que cuenta en su acervo con varios aviones de la segunda guerra mundial.
