Ah, pork barrel politics, reminds me of the bridge out to some remote island in Alaska which only had like 50 ppl on it.

Thanks for sharing your Beech 1900 sightings. In New Mexico, four out of five towns under EAS are in the southern part of the state. They all have flight service to ABQ.
One of those towns is Alamogordo. I was stationed near there at Holloman AFB in 1982/83. Occasionally, I would make package deliveries to the small airport but never paid much attention to the prop aircraft and never new EAS existed.
