Mustang Beach - Port Aransas, TX
Probably the best place in Texas to fly into. It has more to offer a family than any place we have found. The airport is just what is needed. There is a paved runway, restrooms, phone, weather device, fuel and plenty of parking in the grass. No one on duty. Sipher lock on door, read sign for combination. Bring tiedown. There is also a trolley system to town, 3 miles away.I understand they may have a small charge now, it is worth it in the heat of south Texas. Usually at the airport at 45 past the hour. Returns at the highway about 05 past the hour. There is a yacht basin close by with facilities for boaters. You are allowed access to some of them. There is a new hotel with in walking distance and many condos towards the beach. The beach is about half a mile away. We usually fly in and use our folding bikes to ride the beach into town. Several good restaurants all year long. Visit the harbor, ride the ferry, shop, walk the birding area, walk the jetties and the pier. Check the city web site with a search. You want be sorry you visited Port "A" if you like the coast. The most comfortable time and cleanest beaches are after a cold front blows through. Listen up on Corpus approach for traffic and use the unicom. Sometimes the Navy uses RAS for practice approaches. A varity of planes will be seen here from experimentals to jets enjoying this facility and all the city of Port Aransas offers. Bonanza Bill, GTU.

Ranger Municipal Airport - Ranger, TX
The first aircraft to land at Ranger was a Wright Model B in 1911. The pilot, R.G. Fowler, utilized a field just south of town owned by V.V. Cooper. In 1928, Cooper's field officially became Ranger Airport. In 1931, Amelia Earhart visited in her Beech Nut Gum sponsored autogyro. The field was home to a CPT program prior to WWII. The group used a number of Taylorcrafts and a Travel Air 2000. At present, the 1928 hangar is still in use and the airport is home to grassroots aviation at its best. A number of restoration projects, including the Barn Cub, classics, and ultralights are based there. The airfield is city owned and maintained by volunteers. An air show is held annually on Memorial Day weekend.

Ravin Aircraft The Best BBQ I've Ever Had! - Giddings, TX
The Giddings Airport is an absolute diamond in the rough. I landed there and will return there often. First off, the fuel is cheap! Cheaper than anywhere around it and the staff was even willing to pump it for me even though its advertised as self-serve. They greeted me with open arms and welcomed my family and me. The FBO is super cozy, warm, and inviting with DirectTV great for the kids while I did some flight planning in the pilot lounge, wireless internet, clean bathrooms, vending machines, flight planning, and its open 24/7. The fuel is also available 24/7. The FBO manager was really nice and showed my kids around the airplanes that his company builds...a kitplane called the Ravin. Basically, a composite Piper Comanche. It was really nice for the kids and the big kid in me. Call ahead and ask if a Ravin will be there and you can tour the factory which is basically a big open hangar with some kits being built and some already built. Very cool stuff. We then used the courtesy car to go into town for some BBQ that I read about on the internet. Seriously, the City Meat Market is the best BBQ I've ever eaten. http://www.citymeatmarket.biz Try a little of everything as this is one BBQ experience you shouldn't miss. The open pits and smoky interior is true Texas BBQ. I read that alot of musicians, actors, and big time celebrities frequent here. From Sandra Bullock to Willie Nelson they all wait in line for the best BBQ in Texas. It's a little known place but get there early as they will sell out every time! The FBO manager told me we might be a bit late by the time we landed to get some of the good BBQ so he called ahead for us and reserved us some of their finest BBQ. That was really nice. To wrap it up, this is one of the best places to fly for a wonderful day trip. We will be back!

A very nice museum located at the south end of Ft Worth Meacham International Airport. They house about a dozen aircraft housed in a World War Two B-29 Hangar. The centerpiece of the collection is a Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress. They are open on weekends. If you want to come during the week call ahead. They host a warbird fly in every June. And they have a wonderful 1940's big band hangar dance every October. It is really neat to see a full big band set up under the nose of the B-17
