Default Airports near DFW (was NATCA Going Down in Flames)

Grand Prairie is a 45 minute drive for me.
Arlington can be an hour on bad days.
Mesquite, easily and hour and a half (plus, you'll get shot on the way), and
Lancaster? Over two hours to get to Lancaster.


45 minutes is not bad at all. I drove an hour each way to TEB and CDW
when I was flying out of New York. Plus I had to cross the Washington
Bridge (though I had the advantage of buying cheap gas in NJ)

Do you actually fly out of DFW? In a spam can? How long is it from
engine start to takeoff? From touchdown to engine stop? The hobbs
meter is running all that time; at the outlying airports I bet taxi time
is much less, and the hobbs meter doesn't run while you're driving to
the airport.
