Comments
KBAK tower/ground, 100LL
KBAK tower is friendly and helpful. Not usually overworked but there can be occasional volume of military training or helicopters. Pilots should anticipate being given a non-standard-pattern entry, and being asked to report upon reaching, e.g., midfield, or a 3-mile base. There is a separate ground frequency but often the tower frequency is covering all calls. Self-serve fuel when working is fairly priced and attracts traffic, but has been inop much of 2023, if planning to stop for that price it may be advisible to call first. Ramp personnel / fuel truck very friendly and helpful. Very easy airport to get in/out of, but be careful of the many military areas nearby.
