Secret door code... more secret than the UNICOM Frequency...

Haha. For the non German speakers, the rock is the weather station. If it is wet, it is raining, if you can't see it, it is foggy, etc.

I noticed that when I was there a couple of months ago. A real "what's wrong with this picture?" moment.

Should just be: Airport Remarks: Good Luck.

Buffalo, WY (KBYG). Check out the landing roll on runway 13!

Okay, so it's pretty clearly just an artifact of the photographic process on Bing Maps, but still "unusual"...

So why is the machine inside a [snake trap of a] shed? Everywhere I've ever been, the credit card machine sits out in the sun next to the fuel tank. Can't pull my plane into the little building there, the door's too small . . .

The pump is outside the shed, where it is easy to use..

Andrews has lots of oil patch income,, so the public facilities, schools, etc have more money than in most small towns, hence the shed to keep pilots out of the weather while paying, and to give rattlers a more comfortable place to rest.
