Trip Overview

Taylor, TX to San Antonio (Thanksgiving Weekend 2016)

November 26, 2016 — November 30, 2016

That was a great trip, all in less than 24 hours. At the last minute, Dayton had some mechanical problems, so, only Kathy and I made the flight. Weather was good – chilly, but not cold. San Antonio was all lit up and not too crowded. If you go to San Antonio and want a nice hotel that’s comfortable and close to downtown, try the Best Western at Sunset Station. It’s located in a quiet, restored brick building, and is walking distance to everything at about half the price of the Riverwalk chains.

From now on, Stinson will be our airport of choice when flying in to San Antonio .  The terminal has been refurbished and they have Enterprise rental cars on site. Staff is friendly at the FBO and in the tower. It’s just much less stressful flying a gyro in to Stinson than the bigger airports.

This was our first time to land at STINSON AIRPORT, rather than the INTERNATIONAL.  It was much better suited for gyros.

We flew just northwest of Austin’s airspace, then headed southwest, passing east of San Antonio International to STINSON MUNICIPAL, the second oldest general aviation airport in the US, dating all the way back to 1915.
