Agreement on the odd behavior of FBO guy
I flew in once to get some gas and thought the same thing. The guy (don't remember his name) seemed all put out at having to take my money for the fuel. Can't put my finger on it but there was something just a little bit (off) about him. Other than that its a nice little fly in,...Runway could use some work.

Oddball weirdo at the FBO
Richmond is a nice little airfield but the FBO operator acts a bit strange.,
