Hello Fellow Aviators, we present to you Bario´s own list of places to go in Texas where our students, renters and clubmembers share their flying experiences through pictures. We will be uploading and sharing cool places to create a list of spots where aviators can go relax, enjoy and spend good times with family and friends.
Please be sure to send us the airport identifier, name of the location and any suggestions of restaurants, airports, museums, churches, historical locations, parks, businesses or interesting locations to our email dispatch@barioaviationservices.com.

“Watching fireworks from the balcony in the Hangar Hotel, with 6623Z in the foreground wit 2 Navions and reflections from an earlier rain.” – WB
“The other one is of a rainbow – it was a full 180 degrees – one shows that, the other shows the plane, the front of the Hangar Hotel and the Airport diner from the Tarmac.” – WB
“Charleen and I had a blast – skirted a thunderstorm on the way up and flew IFR on the way back.” – Walter Burghardt KLBX – Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport @Angleton TX – Runway Cafe Restaurant (photos sent by club member: Doug Wietbrock)Walt & Charleen Burghardt in 49RZ – trip to Rockport/Aransas County Airport (KRKP). Beautiful approach to Runway 14 over Copano Bay. Great staff and service at the airport. Took a nice Courtesy Car to Charlotte Plummers on Aransas Bay – about 2.5 miles – for a tasty seafood lunch.KSEP (Stephenville TX) – Hard Eight BBQ – (photos sent by club member: Doug Wietbrock)Walt & Charleen Burghardt – downtown riverwalk in San Angelo for an awesome burger at the Twisted Root. Flew into San Angelo (KSJT). Ranger Aviation provided excellent service and good gas prices, and drove a Courtesy Car up to the plane for us. This is a scenic and fun cross-country.
Walt Burghardt & Mike Bauer flew to Junction/Kimble County (KJCT) for lunch. Cooper’s BBQ is walking distance from the airport (NO Courtesy Car right now), but Dallas, the Airport Manager, A&P, EMS (and more) was kind enough to drive us a bit further to Lum’s for some REALLY good BBQ!
KVCT (Victoria Regional Airport TX) – Sky Restaurant – Sent by club member: Doug Wietbrock Walt Burghardt and Dave Howell at lunch at the Hangar 6, located on the tarmac at Uvalde (KUVA). Great food and a fun short cross country flight! (pictures courtesy by Club Members: Walter Burghardt & Doug Wietbrock)
It pays to have a friend in Devine! Walt flew down to Devine (23R) to visit Cyle Richard and survey Cyle’s new house from the air – Walt & Cyle had some awesome burgers at Hangry’s on Hwy 173 – about 5 minutes from the airport
KXTA in Nevada or also known as “Area 51” although it is not in Texas it is still a worthwhile trip to make to learn about the Area 51 museum and probably catch an alien or two at the runway! (Pictures provided by Club Member: Doug Wietbrock)
