MikeWasInTX's airport comments

Another good airport to practice instrument approaches as the folks working the tower are great.

If you have time when you stop here, there's a great aviation museum within walking distance.

There's a good little diner on the field here. Angelina County is also a good place to work on ILS and VOR approaches.

In 2004, there wasn't much here, but a few years later, this small airport looks a lot different. Say hi to Gary if you stop in.

practice NDB approaches, as it's usually not too busy.

This is a great airport for training. The folks in the tower are very great. They're very accustomed to students, and will be very helpful (and patient). Well, at least they were every time I (or all my friends) flew there.

There's usually not much going on at this (small) airport, but once you land here (if you have time), call the Pickett House restaurant. They'll come pick you up; then I hope you're hungry, as they offer some of the best homestyle (southern) cooking you can ask for. After you're done eating, they'll drive you back to the airport. You'll need to check your weight and balance though, as you may have added a few pounds :-)

My former base of operations in Texas. Very friendly service at the newest FBO there, Galaxy Air. And, as David mentioned, Johnny (at Avionics Unlimited) does excellent work.

I second David's remarks. The 50s diner here is excellent. The menu is simple, but the food is great, and the decor takes you back in time, complete with poodle skirts on the girls.
