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!
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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".
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.
