I know the Whiteman AFB 442nd Fighter Wing is hosting it this year (which is in Missouri), however in the past when they've hosted it, they actually staged and flew out of Salina Regional Airport (SLN) which is in the middle of Kansas. It's a big airport as it was formally known as Schilling AFB and it was a SAC base. The reason they liked to do it there, is the close proximity of Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range.
I have no idea if this is the plan again, but there's a good chance of it happening again this way. It's scheduled for October, not sure of the exact dates.
