Flew to BRG to avoid air traffic in Albuquerque airspace during balloon festival. Was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service from the airport manager. Excellent crosswind runways and reasonably priced fuel. Recommend as alternative to KAEG.

Belen is a great overnight stop - clean, nice simple FBO building, helpful staff, a few crew cars with overnight privileges, decent Baymont hotel nearby, and decently priced fuel. There's currently some helo traffic based there so don't leave your plane untied at the pumps for long. Belen will be one of my preferred stops next time I'm through the area.

2023-05-05 I flew my C172 from Del Rio, TX and arrived early afternoon. Having already called ahead earlier in the week to canvas the area, I was confident that Belen would be my preferred fuel stop. John Thompson, the airport manager, greeted me at the fuel pump as I rolled in. He and his staff even assisted me with my refueling at the self-service pumps. This is a first-class operation. I was initially drawn to KBRG because of its significantly lower fuel prices than anywhere else in the Albuquerque area, but the excellent customer service, courtesy car availability, and clean facilities are the true amenities of this operation. John Thompson stressed that he wishes to make Belen (KBRG) the gold standard in New Mexico aviation, and he has proved to me that he's achieving his goal. Trust me, this FBO/airport is well worth a slight course deviation. In close proximity to the township, there are plenty of dining and lodging opportunities for a meal or overnight stay.

Picked up AngelFlight passengers 4/11. Self-service fuel was easy, restrooms clean and access to FBO clearly marked. My pick up was done before business hours, but KBRG makes everything easy and convenient. Great place to stop.

Called from Vernon, TX to check on availability of fuel, motels, food, and courtesy car, expecting a late arrival in Belen. John answered the phone and was super helpful, indicating how we could access the courtesy car and recommended that we call for reservations at a local motel. He also had a recommendation for dining, but suspected our arrival would be too late (it was). Highly recommend this FBO...They want to promote general aviation! Good fuel prices, excellent manager, good accommodations, and 24-hour food nearby!

Well priced s/s fuel, friendly staff, FBO and bathrooms modest, but accessible after hours w/ UNICOM freq which is appreciated as an option.

This is my kind of airport. Small but with what I consider the best services in general aviation. 24 hour access, crew cars, wish that I had bought a hoddie or t-shirt as they have them for sale. It was Saturday afternoon when I arrived and Danny was sitting outside having his lunch. I received the best advice on where to stay and things to do in Belen. This is one of the airports that make GA GREAT. Thank you Belen.
