I called Southwest Aviation because a) everyone says "that FBO that Frank Borman founded is great", and b) for this comment at AirNav:

When Virgin Galactic asked me to land WhiteKnightTwo with SpaceShipTwo for the dedication of the brand new Spaceport America, there was just one problem -- the infrastructure was not yet in place for refueling. Dan and his crew at SWA came to the rescue and trucked the fuel out there for us. (And it was a looong truck drive!) Awesome service and we literally could not have done it without them. Thanks SWA!

Curiously enough, AirNav does not even list Adventure Aviation. It's possible that the competing FBO closed up long time ago. The airport is even sleepier than Artesia, it seems, and there was absolutely nothing to see. Some "International" it is. They are supposed to experiment with drones there, but I saw nothing.

Here's a picture of a balloon off our wing, to show something:

P.S. KABQ recovered us on rwy 21, which I exited at Charlie. The taxi clearance was to follow Charlie to rwy 30, proceed left on 30, exit left on Echo, proceed to E1 to Cutter. I felt like I landed in New York La Guardia. The odd routing was prompted by Kilo being closed for construction, and a small twin taxiing in the opposite direction on Golf.
