I'm interested in recommendations for an general aviation airport in
the Sealy, Texas area. I'd prefer reasonable fuel prices and low or
no fees. I'll be flying there this Thursday to attend a funer...
errr... wedding, :') and staying until Sunday. Airports within 20
miles or so of Sealy would be acceptable. An ILS approach isn't
necessary as I'll be vfr. Towered or untowered airports are o.k.
Grass strips would be considered if they have tie downs and meet the
other criteria for fuel, etc.

Thanks,

Running "Sealy, TX" through Airnav gives six airports...all private.


Hmmm, Longbird Airport (93TS) http://www.airnav.com/airport/93TS
looks almost inviting with two big turf runways even though it is
privately owned. No fuel, but only a couple miles away from Sealy
which might be very convenient for your party to come and pick you
up. There's some phone numbers on the Airnav webpage, you might try
phoning them to see if they'd mind if you landed and kept your plane
there for a weekend.

I once telephoned the owner of a private airport to inquire about
about using the possibility of me landing there, to meet up with some
friends who were camping at a nearby lake, and he was delighted to let
me use his airstrip. You never know until you ask!
