The airport sits in a busy military and civilian environment, so expect restricted areas and local procedures that matter on the ground. Taxiway M and the east ramp are for military use only unless you have permission through the Air National Guard. Taxiway B arm and dearm area is also restricted to military aircraft. Runway 09/27 has limits for certain Part 121 and Part 380 passenger operations.
Fort Wayne Aero Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After-hours service is available by phone. If you need ARFF index C, it is available on request. For a first-time arrival, brief the runway lengths, the military ramp restrictions and the published fuel callout note before taxiing in.
