KRDR field & runways
Grand Forks AFB, Grand Forks, North Dakota. Field elevation 911 ft. Class D airspace. Non-towered (ATCT-RAPCON). Private use. Magnetic variation 3.0°E on record, 3.0°E today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.049°/year west — about 1° every 20 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
