There are two self-serve pumps at the airport but there is no one there
operating them. There is an airport manager but he only works a couple
hours a week. Its funny, about 1/2 the time I'm out there I'll see some
transient pilot walk up and ask if there is a phone or bathroom at the
airport. Its not a "slow" airport at all. We have lots of people coming
and going, but no one seems to have been able to make a business work
out there. We currently have some rentals. There is a guy who rents
some planes out there but you must drive to his house (down the hill)
to get the keys from his wife, he doesn't operate from the airport.
There is an FBO out of Rancho Murienta airport that keeps a plane there
with keys in the back seat for its members, but again, no one is at the
airport itself. If I knew any of the airpark residence I could call
them and ask about the WX but those of us (about 80 planes) that rent
hangers and tie downs are the red headed step children of the airport,
the home owners would just assume not have us there.
