I'm planning a trip from northern Michigan to San Antonio, Texas in
February. Any suggestions on GA fields in the area? I fly a C182.
Thanks.


My Dad flies his C182 into KSAT all the time and thinks highly of the
experience. You have to watch yourself because you'll be landing side
by side with heavies but in the times I flown with him I've never felt
that ATC in any way resented a little plane mixing in with the
commercial traffic.


What is the tiny asphalt airstrip / airport just a stone's throw from
S.A. International? My dad & I used to fly models there and I remember
seeing the traffic coming & going from KSAT while we were there. It
may not be there anymore as it was SO close to KSAT. I'll go look at
an online sectional to see & report back.
Often I was posted as the "airplane guard" while my dad was flying his
models to watch for the real thing approaching the field.

Twin Oaks (T94) is 2nm North of KSAT. I don't believe they get much
transient traffic.
