Airport closed to GA sometimes due to military vintage planes practice; check NOTAM before arriving. Cafe has good service and friendly staff

Skydiving above the airfield. Do NOT fly over the top of the airfield. This is a really busy CalFire / Forest Service tanker base. Kindly refrain from blocking access to the runway doing checklist and run ups as homeowners facing losing their homes would appreciate the rapid response. Be prepared if you're at the hold short lines.

Nose tire went flat on landing. By the time we were walking away we had two trucks of airport staff arrive. They found a dolly and towed plane to shop. They worked at locating a mechanic and gave us water and a cool place to wait. Wonderful place to have a problem. -- chinook9079
