I have another FBO at 11CL which is a 2 lot FBO. It has 4 gates pointing at 46CA to aid in the creation of long distance jobs. It's too close to my hub at Crystal for fixed wing flying and flying helicopters over the desert isn't as good as in mountainous areas. Hopefully should have some scenery available soon.

Heads up, the new 2-lot FBO's are going to take a day or three to fill their gates with jobs. The end result should make 46CA a fairly attractive option for a wide range of operations.

Man, you work fast Keith. I sold my Skylane because I had my eye on opening an FBO at Skylark to connect it to 46CA :)

Hey Keith...just filled an Embraer up and you're left with less than 100 gallons of JetA...

Added these today:
52AZ (X-1 Upper Ranch Headquarters)
3AZ5 (Hulupai)

These are just south of KGCN and provide some additional longer haul jobs to/from 46CA.

Would it be more useful for me to build an FBO a short distance from 46CA, or a longer distance? I just moved 1500 kg of building materials to Ernst Field, which is only 45 nm from 46CA, but it's a dusty little dirt strip. Maybe it would be better to set up shop at a nicer field further away? I have identified a couple of candidates that are more interesting airfields but more than 100 nm from 46CA.

Personally I would love to see some more fields < 100nm with a significant number of jobs. Ideally we could get both ;).
