The 509th, although assigned to the 313th Bomb Wing, was operationally controlled by Headquarters, Twentieth Air Force. The 509th was given a base area near the airfield on the north tip of the island, several miles from the main installations in the center part of the island where the other groups were assigned. The 509th aircraft almost always used runway "A" and the aircraft were parked away from the other groups on the north side of the runway. Also unlike the other groups in the wing, the 509th used a wide variety of tail codes from various XXI Bomber Command groups, instead of using its own, so that the group's planes could not be identified by the Japanese. The 509th was also self-contained and drew little in resources from the 313th Wing or its other groups.

Any of the locals who wanted to get a vehicle could just do so by heading to the airfield and drive it until it could not be repaired. Some abandoned B-29 aircraft wrecks were also left behind at the airfield after the war ended, and these were melted down for scrap metal in the 1950s. </p><p>The airfield has been steadily reclaimed by the dense tropical jungle on the island, being thoroughly abandoned and heavily overgrown.
