In the future, I may be doing some long cross-country flights to the

north Austin area.  Does anyone have specific airport recommendations

for the best overall experience?  I would be tying-down or hangaring the

plane overnight.



The airports closest to my destination that I'm considering are:



1.  GTU - Georgetown: Looks good, but seems really too busy whenever I'm

driving my car nearby.

2.  5R3 - Lago Vista / Rusty Allen:  Looks like a nice quiet airport,

but maybe there are some unknown gotchas?

3.  3R9 - Lakeway: I understand they can be cranky with fees and

operating hour restrictions?



Thanks for any advice.

Michael,



I would use the Taylor Airport. Close in to North

Austin and Round Rock area, less traffic auto and

plane wise, RV's are on the field, small town

atmosphere, very... very good AVgas fuel prices and

Excellent BBQ!!

Try Spicewood, 88R.  It is close to both Lakeway and Lago Vista.  Also,

there are several RV's there.  The airport is daylight use only though.

I regularly fly out of GTU.  It's really not that busy.  Yes, they are getting a control tower, but everyone who flies there are pretty safe.  A flight school, and some charter planes now and then.  Gas prices are ok, no food on the field.  No tie down fees.  Hangars are a premium there, but I never really looked into an of the RV's that may be in the area.  Otherwise, if it's near your destination, it's a good airport.  Crossing runways, all in great condition, etc.
