Scholes Field, aka Galveston Airport
Due to the inspiration set by DJ Were-Panda, I decided to finally go to Scholes International Airport here in Galveston, TX. Now don’t judge this place too early: even though it’s called an international airport, the only international planes flying into it are probably sea gulls migrating from South America.
This airport caters mostly to private business. Want a private helicopter tour? Go to this airport. Want a private airplane tour? Go to this airport. Want to learn how to fly a Cessna? Yes, go to this airport.
Regardless, it was fun walking straight up to the fences photographing planes and helicopters coming in and out, while at the same time not worrying whether Homeland Security will add you to the “No Fly” list.
I didn’t see any planes come into the airport, unfortunately, but I did see a lot of them on the ground.
Alright!!! Now I have someone to go on spotting trips with!!!
Welcome, to the dark side!!!
The Galveston airport sounds like the Melbourne International Airport we have here. Except we have LOTS AND LOTS of small planes. And maybe three Delta passenger aircrafts that leaves Melbourne. It is a busy but not commercial airport.
