Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station lies on the western side of Cape Cod near Falmouth, Massachusetts, sharing its runways with the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard on the site of the former Otis Air Force Base. It is a well-equipped military field with two long, lit hard-surface runways and instrument approaches, but as an active Coast Guard and Air National Guard installation it is not a field a visiting civil pilot can simply drop into.
Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station (KFMH) is a joint-use military airfield near Falmouth, Massachusetts, home to United States Coast Guard search-and-rescue operations and the Air National Guard's 102nd Fighter Wing. For a simulator pilot the field is notable for its unusually long, ILS-equipped runways set among the woods and cranberry bogs of Cape Cod, a legacy of its origins as Otis Air Force Base.
The airfield sits on Cape Cod in Falmouth, Massachusetts, at coordinates 41.6591 N, 70.5228 W, at an elevation of 118 feet. It lies within the airspace served by Cape Approach and Cape Departure control, reflecting its position under busy New England approach and departure corridors.
KFMH has two paved runways. Runway 14/32 is 9,455 feet long, hard-surfaced and lit, with an ILS serving runway 32. Runway 05/23 is 7,956 feet long, also hard-surfaced and lit, with an ILS serving runway 23.
Cape Approach is available on 118.2 MHz and Cape Departure on 28.46 MHz. Tower operates on 121 MHz, with Ground on 121.6 MHz. Additional frequencies used on the field include 26.2 MHz for ANG SOF and Post information, 37.22 MHz for Coast Guard Cape Cod Air Ops and 102 FW Command Post, and 164.55 MHz for miscellaneous Coast Guard use. Instrument approaches are available, with the ILS serving runways 32 and 23.
The airfield occupies the site of the former Otis Air Force Base, later known as Otis Air National Guard Base, and today hosts both the Coast Guard Air Station and the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard, as reflected in the shared radio frequencies used for Air National Guard base operations and command post traffic alongside Coast Guard air operations.
KFMH remains an active joint military airfield, combining United States Coast Guard air station operations with Air National Guard flying by the 102nd Fighter Wing. As a military field it requires prior permission for any visiting aircraft, and it is not a facility open to casual civil traffic.
