Jay--

Yep. T82 is Gillespie County, home of the Hangar Hotel and the
"poodle-skirt" style diner. Single runway (5000', 32/14 if I remember
correctly) is in good shape. Field altitude is something like 1700',
so you're in the Hill Country for sure. I haven't parked there
overnight, but my guess is that there is no charge if you're at the
hotel.

You know, of course, that when you're there, you're only a 20-minute
hop to San Antonio, which, if you haven't been there, is a trip well
worth making. I don't know if they're doing tours at Mooney, but if
they are, you're only 10 minutes or so from Kerrville.

You're also correct about the weather. Naturally, it has been
Chamber-of-Commerce perfect this week, with clear skies, wafting
winds, and highs in the 70s. My guess is that you may be in luck on
this end. Having lived in Milwaukee for 7+ years, I fully appreciate
the temptresses controlling the upper Midwest weather at this time of
year. For about a month up there, we always swore that we could see
spring, only to be disappointed with a snow storm or horrendous ice.

I count no less than 7 airports around Fredericksburg. Is T82 the
best for us to use?
