Narrative:
Inadvertent penetration of restr airspace at ZZZ AFB. Not given description of restr airspace upon WX briefing from ZZZ1 on 11/fri/01. Returning from business diverted to ZZZ2 for fuel (strong headwinds and turbulence). Took me closer to ZZZ AFB than originally planned for trip from ZZZ to ZZZ3. Other factors fatigue from business and long flight. No conflicts with traffic. Immediately contacted ZZZ. Approach for squawk code and to alert them of my presence.
