PAN AM Flight Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note limited fuel operations. They also note extremely limited parking and that airfield conditions are not monitored overnight. Expect military activity on the field. Bird activity can also be a factor, especially during the published hazard periods. Runway 13/31 has special use restrictions for some passenger operations. If you are planning anything outside a normal light-aircraft stop, check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before you launch. The field is close to the Missouri River and lakes. Watch for local weather changes and bird traffic on arrival.
