I'm amazed that Austin proper has one airport and really, only one FBO/Flight School outside of the University Flying Club. You have to go up to Georgetown or down to San Marcos for a smaller airport which is GA-friendly. I looked at the sectional this weekend and there's apparently a field near Lake Travis, but I don't know much about it.
Austin really needs a second airport for GA. Ever since Austin Mueller closed down, Austin-Bergstrom has been able to charge whatever they want.

I hate to see when any airport disappears.
