Taxiway F is an aircraft taxiway at Tampa International Airport.
This stretch of pavement began its life as taxiway and tarmac for Drew Field, the original airport which was the predecessor to TPA on this site. The City of Tampa laid out 160 acres as Drew Field in 1928 when the Peter O. Knight Airport on Davis Islands was still Tampa's primary airport. Between 1940 - 1946, the U.S. Army Air Force was based here, then called Drew Army Airfield. In 1946 the military left, the airport reverted to Drew Field, and passenger service relocated here from Peter O. Knight. When flights from Canada arrived in 1950, Drew Field officially became Tampa International Airport.
