Where to Fly in the Houston Area?
Question:
I have some friends who live near Ellington and so always fly into there. The FBO is friendly and the airport is a towered airport with a variety of instrument approaches. I can’t say anything about flying clubs or plane rentals, and I can’t make any comparison with other fields, although the owner of the FBO in Baton Rouge from whom I rent has recommended Hobby to me. Hobby, of course, is much busier. You will probably find that a major factor in your choice of field in Houston is traffic–automobile traffic on the way to the airport, that is.

Where in Houston? It’s a big place. If you’re on the south side near NASA, I reccomend Houston Gulf. Not too busy, has a nice club called the BAAC of which I’m a member (they only have single engined aircraft, so you’ll have to look somewhere else for multis). — Dylan Smith 1810 Space Park Drive, Houston, TX 77573 Standard disclaimer applies.

Krish, I am a member of the Southwest Flying Club based at David Wayne Hooks airport on the north west side of Houston near Tomball. It’s the oldest flying club in Texas. We have three airplanes, a Cessna 172, Cessna 182, and Cessna182RG. All three are in excellent condition with low time engines. All planes are kept fully hangared. GPS units are also available for members to check out and use as well. I don’t have the hourly fees handy at the moment but will obtain an E-mail to you if you are interested. (There are very resonable, about 20% less than FBO’s) The initial fee is 700 dollars which is refundable when leaving the club. The monthly dues are 70 per month. There are 45 member in the club and 2-3 on the waiting list at this time. (The club limit is 45 members.) Each member can reserve each plane for two full weeks/weekends per year in advance. This does not limit you to use on additional weekends but must reserve after thursday. There is no minimum for the planes when taken for extended periods. (We are very resonable as long as no one abuses the reservations.) If you have any additional questions, give me a shout at Bob Reed, KIS Cruiser in progress…Oshkosh 2000 by Gosh!

If you are in North Houston I would suggest National Aviation at David Wayne Hooks airport. If you are south then Fletcher at Houston Hobby ( a little busy ). Great place that flys Grumman stuff There is also a flying club at Ellington Field that seemed like a great place Michele Motorola PowerPC – Making the world a RISC-ier place!
