Published remarks also note bird activity in the area. Heavy helicopter traffic occurs 2 NM southwest of the airport from the surface to 1,000 ft during daylight hours on weekdays. Transient aircraft need prior permission at least 72 hours before arrival. Prior permission is also required to park on the military ramp. If you are headed in with a large aircraft or a military mission, check the current FAA Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator before departure.
