SA, Riverwalk, "Fighter Pilot," missions, KSSF
To anyone going to San Antonio in the near future, here's what I learned after the trip:
1. Downtown is great if you're on the Riverwalk, don't bother hanging out on street level.
2. Check out the happenings around town. Going on the weekend on a national cheerleading competition AND national rodeo makes for a crowded city and an even more crowded downtown.
3. IMAX films are awesome - watched "Fighter Pilot" while we were there. Great film. Would have probably had a better platform with a 16 or A-10 pilot, but the C model still made for a good movie.
4. The 4 missions (plus the Alamo) are cool for an afternoon, not much more unless you're an archeological/history buff.
5. San Antonio barbeque is not Memphis/KC/St Louis barbeque. Opinions vary, but don't expect Beale street when you order ribs, beans, and cole slaw.
After all that, I found a cool airport, Stinson Municipal Airport (KSSF). There was a pusher-puller Cessna 337 and a DC-6 parked on the ramp (never seen either one of those), along with lots of 150/172/PA-28 aircraft.
