Saw this from the air: not one but two gravel runways crossing at 100 degrees, obviously someone's private airport. It looks fosaken, but still has a windsock in a decent shape. Google Maps has older aerial photos where it seems in a better shape and shows an airplane parked near the house. Does anyone know the story?
To find the airport, follow the railroad on the other side of the I-25. The property is right next to railroad, with a driveway off Arrow Hondo Trail.

I saw that from the train a while back. Looked at Google Earth and those are long strips!
There is a plane at the house north of there - quite a taxi.
I'll be in Santa Fe next month and if I have time I may drive out there.
Very close to town. I will post if I find out anything.

Do you have coordinates? Tried searching Arrow Hondo Trail in SF, nothing came up. UNK is the identifier for Unakleet AK.

Indeed 35.611, -105.959 and 35° 36.668'N 105° 57.485'W refer to about the same place, which is what picquied my interest.

Google Earth shows a plane at the house nearby. So it might be in use.
Good find. I will ask around about ownership and if I come up with anything, will get back to you.
Thanks, Larry
