Reno-based FBO and charter operator Jet West took over the former Air  Trails FBO at Salinas Municipal Airport in central California last year  and remodeled the entire facility. Jet West Salinas held a grand opening  on March 1. Salinas is a convenient alternate airport when the Monterey  peninsula is fogged in, said Jet West general manager Ryan Gauger. "We  saw some opportunity here," he added, with local agriculture businesses  big users of general aviation. The extensive remodeling–"We might as  well have built a new FBO," said Gauger–includes amenities such as a  sleeping area and showers, workout room, conference room, kitchen and  pool table, as well as a 6,400-sq-ft hangar.
