Lago vista did have some hangars last time I asked, but check with the
Airport owner. Taylor has a 2 year waiting list, Georgetown has a 4+ year
waiting list and forget about Bergstrom, no hangars unless you have a
citation... I know of someone who recently rented a hangar at Spicewood
(88R). If you are moving because you are going to work in Austin, then
Spicewood is a little far out for regular commuting, also the runway is
quite tricky (30 ft x 4000 ft with a 'hump in the middle and quite often a
good x-wind), unlit, and has not IAP's . Another option is San Marcos, which
is about 40 miles south of Austin, and has hangars.Further south is New
Brunfels, and they have plenty of hangars and covered parking.

There is one site left at Breakaway Airpark near Cedar Park (north). I spoke
to the realtor and they were wanting $100K for 1/2 an acre which backs up to
a Albertsons (read noise), but there was no taxiway to the lot so the hangar
was remote (and another $80k). Most houses there are expensive ($500K+) with
doctor/lawyer types.. I have heard a rumor of another possible airpark on
the north east side of Austin (near the near TX 130 toll road) but so far
nothing. Since Austin Executive closed when Dell muscled onto the land,
there has been a real shortage of hangars and airports in the area. They are
trying to build a new airport in the metro area but so far the NIMBY's are
winning and no suitable site has been found. Of course getting any new
airport built these days requires an act of god.

drop an email address on this group if you want me to reply privately to
you.

There is a good community up at GTU, but apart from the UT fliers club, I
don't know of any other flying clubs.

Hello from a newby. My husband and I will be moving to Austin in the next
few months (June @ the latest) and we are looking for GA information.
Aviation is our passion. Our little red plane is hangered here on our
field
(CSG). I have read earlier posts inquiring about GA. Any changes or other
info concerning GA in Austin and surrounding areas. Does anyone know of
any
available hangers? I have been reading up on Lago Vista, I don't know
that I
can afford to buy and build a hanger AND buy a house as well. (poor pilot

but maybe someone will rent me space. Here at CSG we have a very strong
GA
"family". We have at least monthly cookouts, frequent shrimp boils and
otherwise just great camaraderie . Is there a field around Austin where
we
might find the same kind of friendship? Are there any flying clubs in the
area? We are looking for a home possibly in Lago Vista (maybe with a view
of
the lake). But we are certainly open to suggestions.
