One who misses Daytona!
There are a couple private airports near Austin I am wanting to fly into for personal reasons.
One is Thuderbird SW, and one is a small strip near Elgin.
I am asking how do you find the information on these places to ask permission?
Thank you.
Lynn

41XS, Macho Grande, is a private airport in Texas owned and named by someone who apparently loves the Airplane movies as much as I do. I just didn't think to name my airport after a movie line.

Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it. Was Buddy one of your crew?
Witness: Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: Andy went to pieces?
Witness: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: Howie came unglued?
Witness: Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Witness: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: Then Howie survived?
Witness: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
Prosecutor: Over Macho Grande?
Witness: No. I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande. Those wounds run...pretty deep.
