Alaska

This Summer AeroTexas journeys away from the heat of the Lone Star State to another great state - America's Last Frontier. International service resumes with flights to Anchorage and Bethel, across the Bering Sea to St. Lawrence Island, into the Arctic Circle, and across the Alaskan Range. Included is a bonus flight to a new AeroTexas resort (ermm...well just a cabin really) and a challenge flight on the final regional leg.

Four Flights

Effective today, members can now log flights to destinations on the fourflights.com website. The way that site is set up one destination for each of the four flight rules are displayed: VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR. Additionally, the 20 closest airports to each of the destinations are also displayed. Members can choose any route pair and log time flown on that route.

For example, currently the following four destinations have been identified by fourflights.com:

KMCN - Middle Georgia Regional Airport LIFR
KAEX - Alexandria International Airport IFR
KMTO - Coles County Memorial Airport MVFR
KPMD - Palmdale Flight-Test Airport VFR

Each of these has 20 nearest airports identified as well. So if you wanted to fly to Middle Georgia Regional Airport, which has a 2200 foot broken ceiling, visibility 3/4 miles in thunderstorms and rain, you could start your flight from Columbus Metropolitan Airport at 66 NM away, Birmingham International Airport at 166 NM away, or any of the other 18 airports listed there.

Please note that some of the fourflights.com airports may be regional airports and small municipal fields - please choose your aircraft wisely.

Charter flights have returned!

Today I'm happy to announce that AeroTexas's "Daily Flight" series has returned. Currently the plan is to update this several times throughout the day, but for now the daily flight will be just that - one flight per day. The daily flight assignments will include private and corporate charter flights, as well as temporary codeshares with select commercial airlines. This is a roundtrip flight too, with the first leg departing from a Part 139 airport. The destination however may be anything from a major airport in a metropolitan area, to a small municipal strip in the middle of little podunk! Pick your plane wisely. For now you can at least be comforted by the fact that destination charters are required to have at least a 3000 foot runway. The daily flight assignment will also be tweeted!
