KBDH sits in Willmar, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,126 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 5,500 ft. Runway 03/21 is turf at 2,980 ft. This is a non-towered airport. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
The pattern altitude is 974 ft AGL, which is 2,100 ft MSL. Runway 13 has an ILS approach. That makes 13/31 the runway to plan around when the weather goes down. The published remarks also note 200 ft of unusable pavement beyond both ends of runway 13/31. Runways 03/21 are not plowed in winter. Yellow cones mark runway 03 and runway 21.
Oasis Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours a day by self-serve credit card. After-hours service and transient hangar requests go through the FBO by phone. The runway lighting on 13/31 is pilot-controlled on CTAF. MALS is on runway 13. REIL is on runway 31. PAPI is available on both 13 and 31. If you need clearance delivery help, the published remarks say to contact Minneapolis ARTCC if Flight Service is not available. Watch for the abandoned airport 1 NM east.
