Tucumcari FSS (TCC), New Mexico, December 3. 1980
Specialist, Nathan Sewell, climbed the nearby airport rotating beacon tower to snap this photo of the Tucumcari FSS building. The set of three windows located in the center of the building was the airport lobby area. Directly to the right of the lobby windows is where the FSS pilot weather briefing counter was located as well as the FSS operations floor. Further to the right was where the airways facility equipment rooms were located which supported the daily FSS operations.
