Default Ooops ... incident at Santa Fe

guess if you hear about traffic but do not see it, you should assume it is
right where you can't see it rather than safely away from you. Just
speculation, of course.

Before the Dept of Energy turned the airport over to the county, one
needed a flight review and a prior permission number assigned to the
pilot to fly in and out. I got one plus some mountain flying from the
7100' airport. What is interesting is one way in and one way out. And
the restricted area of the lab to the south, I believe. Very specific
land marks to come in on. At that time they even had a local arrival
procedure to use.
