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