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.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah! Twin Oaks...REAL close to KSAT. 67% transient traffic according
to what I just read.
