Landed here tonight just to see what this airport was all about. Name probably comes in part from the golf course just to the north of the field. Smoothest runway ever.
9X1 is the best kept secret! A great place to learn and practice at. Jay Yeagar at Right Stuff Flight School is an amazing instructor. The taxiways are a little beaten up but the runway is decent.
Dropped in on a Sunday afternoon and basically had the field to ourselves. Nice FBO, friendly people, took the courtesy car into town for a burger at Willys Burger... a pretty darn good burger and only about a 9 minute drive from the field. Fuel prices were reasonable.
Landed here June 2017 and again April 2018... nice facility, clean restrooms and lounge. Drinks in the fridge and Chase is a friendly and professional airport manager. They have a courtesy car and can also arrange rental vehicles... ask Chase about that. Decent fuel prices and nice folks... I'll be back!
Nice strip, tie downs and great bunkhouse accomodations
Landed here in April 2018 and found the strip in good shape with solid tie downs. No fbo/fuel, etc., but the Park Ranger will come pick you up and take you over to the visitor center and bunkhouse. Just make a low pass near the visitor center about 1/2 mile west of the strip, then land... the will come pick you up in about 15 minutes. They were very nice, helpful and accommodating. The bunkhouse is quite nice... full cooking facilities, comfortable mens and women's bunks, hot showers and restroom, refrigerators and freezers, etc. No restaurants so you have to bring your own food and drinks. They do sell ice, a few snacks and some drinks at the visitor center.
Transferring from an international flight to a domestic is refreshingly easy at DFW, but the brutes that take luggage from the SmartCart and "transfer" it to domestic flights appear to take great pleasure in throwing luggage as roughly as possible. Rather than move luggage to the conveyer to transfer to domestic terminals, the guys tossed even the lightest luggage. This is truly unacceptable and requires some oversight (and a few folks seeking jobs).
Runway 09/27 has been closed for more than three years and the city as no plans to reopen it. In fact, they will begin to build new hangers and taxiways east of Kilo taxiway sometime in 2017.
Many of trips ferrying airplanes for repairs at Lakeview Aviation. Good airport for flying around the lake but watch out for those tricky winds and lots of deer around.
NOTHING TO SEE AND THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THANKS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO HELPED ME FIND A PLACE TO SLEEP, THE SHERIFF WAS AWESOME.
I WAS HERE IN FEBRUARY AND BOUGHT A CHALLENGER 2 FROM MR. KENNETH HINES A GOOD SOUTHERN GENT. THE GRASS STRIP WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE PEOPLE IN THIS PRIVATE COMMUNITY WAS AWESOME, SOUTHERN STYLE.
I HAVE TO THANK EVERYBODY AROUND THIS AIRPORT. I BROKE A RIM AND EVERYBODY BENT BACKWARDS TO GET ME THE PARTS AND THE AVOLAR OWNER WAS AWESOME PICKED UP THE PARTS AND WAS THERE BY TEN IN THE MORNING FIXING THE PLANE. MIKE STARTED IT ALL AND CALLED MR. S, AUSTIN WAS PROMPTLY THERE AND THE REST IS HISTORY. THANKS GUYS AWESOME SERVICE
