Nice Place for a Sunday flight

Used to fly my Musketeer there for Buffalo burgers on a Sunday. 30 years ago.
I was the Maintenance Mgr. for an FBO on CRQ. Gave my card to the folks at the facilities on Catalina. As I rember it was only the restaurant. Anyway, told them to call if they needed any maintenance help. We were a 24/7 operation with a flight school. We would get a call. Ask the caller for make and model of his A/C and his credit card number. Pack tires, tools and technician into a small twin with a school FI and fly over to save his day. Nice job for the tech, a nice flight for the FI and good money for the repair. And the customer was grateful. I remember a C-421 and a Duke with scraped off tires. Were a couple of others.
