![]() When I and my brothers were kids our dad (deceased) used to fly us down to the Gulf Coast several times during the Summer in the family C-182. We'd go fishing, catch loads of Sheepshead and sunburn, play on the deserted beach and fly back to San Antonio. I would like to go back to this dirt/gravel/seashell landing strip someday soon. I am checked out at Sugarland (near Houston) in their C-172s though I believe there may be a rental contract restriction on non-published and/or dirt/grass or closed etc fields. My point is does anyone know of this landing strip near the granite jettys (sp?) and the ship channel off of Port O Connor, TX? I know there was/is an old airport (Armed Service training base to the west of the landing strip?) in the vicinity that was closed and there also used to be (or may still be) a runway in the city of Port O Connor, we used to land and buy live shrimp bait there before going to the strip off the coast. It was a single, narrow landing strip several miles off of Port O Connor. I'd look at a sectional but have none handy and doubt that this landing strip would be on it anyway. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to make a trip down there this Summer. Heck, I'll just fly down and look for it (can't be too hard to find as my childhood recollections would probably quickly return) but if someone could at least point me in the right direction it would be helpful. Thanks, Ricky |
