Since then there's a lack of a good GA airport in central TX.

That was the last one, there's no place to land in central Texas anymore?

No convenient place if you live in Austin. For a city the size of Austin to
not have a GA airport is ridiculous. I've landed at Bergstrom a number of
times as a transient, but hanger space is virtually impossible there. I
used to hanger at San Marcos - but there was no good reason to close
Mueller, especially after Dell bought and closed Austin Executive.

You'd have to check w/ someone who actually still lives there. I move
away because of work. But, there's Lakeway, Bergstrom, and San Marcos
as well as Georgetown. The latter two can be far from most of the
people there and perhaps a little small. The first is rather small
and private, the second is large and can be expensive - it's more
geared for corp fliers, not GA.

Last I heard they were trying to figure out a good replacement for
Mueller. I also heard the abandoned runway was used for an emergency
landing this summer. So, it's still there.
