If you are ever in the area, Id recommend a visit to the Alamo, in San Antonio. San Antonio is a short flight from two major cities, Houston and Austin, and only a couple of hours drive from either. The airline airport is not far from town, and if flying in by private plane and you prefer a smaller gen av airport, then Stinson Field, just in the south part of town is convenient with two good runways, full FBO etc. There was also a small turf airport just north of town, Twin Oaks, etc.
There are a number of military bases surrounding San Antonio so may be some restricted areas.
The Alamo is right in town.
For those not familiar the Alamo is the old mission which was turned into a fort and the site of a major battle between the Mexican army and Texans ending March 6. 1836. It has been called by historians as the 7th most decisive battle over the years. The Texans lost but in doing so, made the victory so costly for Gen Santa Anna that he was defeated two months later at San Jacinto outside Houston.
Texan losses were 183, as for Santa Anna, his adjutant. Ramon Caro, wrote, "We brought to San Antonio more than 5000 men and we lost 1544 of the best of them." Santa Anna called it " a small affair: but he had been careful to stay back out of the fighting till it was over.
The outer wall of the fort is no longer there but the long barracks and the familiar chapple is. The museum can be seen in an hour, but the impression may stay.
When I went to visit the city, I was lucky enough to have met some of the members of the Eagle Squadron , Americans who flew for the RAF, and we stayed at the nearby Crockett Hotel. This also had a history to it, as the place Teddy Roosevelt recruited his "Rough Riders". Ill write more about the Eagles another time.
I am not sure if there is much if anything to see at the local miiltary bases, used to be some planes on display at Lackland AFB, including a P-51H, maybe B-29, and P-82. I was there long ago for basic training anb I dont have any desire revisit, short but not sweet. No less than Charles Lindberg was once a flying cadet at Brooks and later Kelly bases.
There are restaurants and hotels along the River Walk and of course some of the world's best Mexican food and good Bar B Q.
One caution, can be really hot in the summer there, of course everything is air conditioned but it is more pleasant in the other 8 months of the year and can be really nice in spring, fall.
On another subject the CAF has units at and near San An, and their headwaters in now at Dallas Executive ( was Redbird) airport where P-51s were built.
