Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Converse County Airport (KDGW) serves Douglas, Wyoming with a paved runway long enough for most business jet operations, plus a secondary gravel-dirt strip for light traffic. The field is uncontrolled and operates on a published attendance schedule rather than continuous staffing, so crews should plan fuel and ground handling around posted hours. Customs is not available onsite; the nearest customs airport of entry is Casper / Natrona County International, roughly 48 nautical miles away. Elevation runs just under 4,933 feet, a factor worth weighing into performance planning at this Wyoming field.
