Austin Bergstrom (KAUS - the "big" airport) is quite GA friendly as
well. T-Hangars are the norm for
small piston driven GA aircraft. They are currently $260 or $270 per
month and there is a waiting list. Call Scott at Signature to get on
the T-hangar list.

Just a minor note here. Yes, the airport itself (controllers and FBO's)
are happy to have us. But the city considers us to be the scourge of
the universe. It took years to get the few hangars at AUS built (under
threat of court order), and another year (over every attempt by the
city) to be allowed to move into them.

Although there technically *is* a waiting list, Scott will tell you that
as far as anyone knows it will be a cold day in hell before any more are
built. I've been on the list for several years and there is an
estimated 20 to 25 years more wait before I may be able to move in. The
few people who have managed to move in have done so by "knowing
someone" who is moving out and simply sub-letting from them. Probably
illegal, but done all the time. Money talks.

As you have read on this thread, both Georgetown and San Marcos are nice
airports. The drive from central Austin is about 35 minutes to each at
2 in the morning. Can be a couple of hours if there is a wreck on the
freeway.
