Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KBFE outside normal hours?
Yes, Terry County Airport offers self-service fuel on a 24-hour basis, covering both 100LL and Jet A. Because the field is unattended, pilots handle fueling themselves rather than through line service staff. This makes KBFE usable for after-hours stops without needing to coordinate arrival timing around attendant availability.
Does KBFE have on-site customs clearance?
No, Terry County Airport does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KLBB, located approximately 34.87 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to route their clearance through that facility rather than at KBFE directly.
What is the longest runway at KBFE?
Runway 02/20 at Terry County Airport is the longer of the two paved runways, measuring 5,218 feet in length and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. The airport's secondary runway, 13/31, is shorter at 2,765 feet, also paved and 75 feet wide. Both runways are usable but 02/20 accommodates larger aircraft given its greater length.
Are there any known surface or wildlife hazards at KBFE?
Yes, Terry County Airport reports birds and wildlife on and in the vicinity of the airport, which pilots should factor into approach and departure planning. Additionally, the parallel taxiway to runway 02/20 is noted as being in poor condition with extensive cracking. These conditions are documented in the airport's operational remarks and warrant attention during ground movement and low-altitude operations.
