I fly in and out of Easterwood all the time. I can usually fly to Dallas for about the same as the cost of fuel to drive up. It's not a bad little airport considering it used to be a very small military airfield. I know the extension on the runway is first class because I was the superintendent on that job

The really crazy thing is that there are actually two airports in B/CS. Easterwood and the old Bryan Army Airfield, which is now known as Texas A&M University - Riverside Campus. Of course, only one is operational. The old runway out there is used as a race track and the surrounding land and hangers have been (partially) repurposed. They're building a 1,000,000 volume low circulation library out there now that's going to be shared by A&M and UT.
Fun Fact: Gus Grissom was a jet instructor at Bryan AFB in the 1950s.
