I know I've said it before, but one of the greatest things of general aviation is the variety of FBOs you'll encounter. Or the people you may or may not meet.
This is Trinidad (KTAD). Great building zero people, but not really accessible. My copilot made me a breakfast burrito and we ate them on one of their picnic benches. Great moment. The right-center window reads "AIRPORT". Classic.
This white-brick building is Raton's (KRTN) FBO. On the topic of "what do I call this place", I use the 'public knowledge' answer. This is Raton but technically, Raton Municipal Airport/Crews Field. I will never say "Crews Field". Never. It's "Raton traffic"... Let's use Leadville as another example. It's the highest field in North America, and known as Leadville. If anyone thinks I'll say "Lake County", they will be surprised. Regardless, this was an excellent FBO with a cool building and great views. Beyond all of that, they will make you a hamburger. And it is NOT a 'take from the warmer burger', it is a burger made by someone who cares. It was fantastic!
Cameras never really capture the moment. This was a shot across from Coppertop's tail trying to show the landscape. In person, it was very cool. Taken at Trinidad.
