-> We used the ILS at Connally right up to closure of the base and then
-> used the runway for Transition Training. American Airlines also used
-> it for Pilot Training in 70's for 727 Pilot Trainers.
Yeah, and they were still doing something out there even after the
private tower came to be. I used to wander past there in my Bugsmasher
on the way out to see my kinfolks at Prairie Hill and the tower always
warned me to keep out of their way. Seems to me they were shooting
landings in some big iron.... I thought they looked like 747's from my
humble seat in the 11-BC. Anyway I stayed out of their airspace.
