This is a General Aviation airport - small planes, business and charter jets, and helicopters. There aren't any airlines or scheduled flights going in and out of here. It's a nice airport with a couple of FBOs (equivalent to a terminal at a big airport) to choose from. They are Signature Flight Support and Hill Aircraft.

I wouldn't recommend eating at a restaurant or staying at a hotel within 5 miles of the place. There are exceptions, but to be on the safe side, I wouldn't. However, there is a large visible police presence at the airport due to a couple of police precincts of different departments located here.
