I agree with Dave about Regal. I went there on an Angel Flight and
they were awesome!

Seems to me Dave got his Easts and Wests mixed up (but maybe I just
misunderstand him). Regal is at the approach end of 13R which I would
call the "west parallel". And when I've come in from the south they've
vectored me to a right-hand downwind to the "west" runway (13R). Regal
is marked on the airport diagram at http://www.airnav.com/airport/DAL.

I trained at Houston Hobby in the '80's, I agree that its about the
same size and "feel".
