Carlsbad Caverns
Great airport with nice people. Little WWII museum
Great FBO
One of the best! Really great service - had the rental car next to the p[lane on the ramp almost before I cut the engine. Buy your fuel at the self serve pump; it's at least a dollar per gallon cheaper. $6 a night tie down charge reasonable. SAF must be the only adobe style control tower in the world!
Small but friendly
We like to fly in to this little airport to have a $100 coke and take their old courtesy cruiser into Artesia and eat at the Wellhead. Great old movie theatre with current movies for $3! Fun cheap date with your wife if you don't count the fuel.
Air Canada 767's
some of Air Canada Boeing 767-200/ER are stored here waiting for scrap.
code N01
The FAA uses 'N01' for Mosquero Emergency Services Heliport

re: airport
You can get the latitude/longitude from the "Pilot Info" tab.
airport
how about an address on the website? it would be nice to be able to put that into my gps and just go to it...
aliens
lots of aliens
A short trip from Albuquerque by air.
I like this airport for practice in Class D airspace. Just to the northwest one can fly over the Rio Grande River as it snakes it's way south through a beautiful canyon. There is a small resticted area south of Los Alamos so watch your charts. Great views.
Bode Aviation
Bode also has airplane rentals and a flight school. Weather 119.025 CATF 122.8. Double Eagle can be busy on the weekends. In the summer one should expect high density altitude and possible afternoon thunderstorms.
Gas
If you are ever crossing overhead, I have had pretty good experiences with the gas prices here!
re: Wrong name
This is still the name listed by the FAA. Does anyone have a source showing the new name? If so, I'll be happy to change it.
Wrong name
This is actually the church of Scientology's airport, the runway has been lengthened since this image was taken, it is now 10,000+ ft to accommodate large aircraft like John Travolta's B707
Great Cowboy Town
Diverted here due to weather in 2004. Friendly place. It is a long drive into town, they have a courtesy car and they let us keep it overnight. If you like trains, it is a great place, the freight trains pass through town every five minutes all night long. Several large stores specialize in cowboy/horse/western gear. You can buy anything here for your horse, or get some good deals on cowboy boots. We had a lot of fun here, and bought some really neat (tacky) stuff too. Fuel was relatively inexpensive.
ABQ
Busy but usually accommodating to GA. With runways 03/21, 08/26, 12/30 & 17/35 and all 150 feet wide this could make for a good alternate due to high winds. Cutter & Seven Bar on the field.
It's a "airport different" in the "city different".
Bring your high-limit credit cards if you have to stop here.
Caution Density Altitude
I landed here when my spouse demanded a pit stop enroute Pheonix. Don't expect that it will cool off in the evening - it never cools off here. Elevation 4,300 ft, but density altitude in the afternoons with temperatures 120F - over 9,000 ft. We used about 4,500 ft of runway to take off, just two people in a Baron B-55.
