City of Port Aransas

at Mustang Beach Airport

From Stephen Porter on 06-Oct-2008

Randy, the airport manager, was very friendly and helpful. He was there to greet us as well as send us off and wish us a speedy return. Make sure and take your own tie down straps.

Flew in just before July 4. Nice airport and great gulf and bay views. Very convenient to Port A, but rental cars are a problem. Taxi service is available and responsive. The Brazos Helicopter folks in the "terminal building" are helpful when there and that's where the restrooms are. Tiedowns are basic-bring your own straps as backup.

Called the day before, talked to Randy, (aprt. Mgr) got # for rental car, and he was there when we landed. Very friendly and helpful! You might want to bring some tie downs just in case, there aren’t many there, but the spaces are available. Will go back again!

Flew in yesterday from KSAT. Corpus Approach was pretty busy with Navy trainers and regional traffic. Nice over swap area approach to Rwy 12. Even better departure over the Gulf of Mexico. Very nice folks on the field. The helicopter pilot from the aerial tour outfit on the field was very helpful with instructions for catching the trolley to town to grab a bite to eat. Ate at Seafood & Spaghetti Works. Had a nice meal, nice price and great service. But because of the time I had to catch a taxi back (the trolley stops running at 5:30). The taxi took over 30 mins to arrive. Not a big deal made for a really beautiful arrival back in KSAT with the sun just barely dipping below the horizon.

FBO now has gas! I paid 4.95/gal last weekend.
 

From Jacob Martin on 10-Apr-2008

Very nice people here. But check the NOTAMS-No Gas! Parking on the grass is OK if you bring your own tiedown straps. Nice little airport office with clean restrooms. Code is the frequency--1229* (Lock clicks after you press the star).

A nice video of a landing on Mustang Beach is available on YouTube.Com under the keywords Mooney Aircraft Landing Ocean.

Stopped in for a quick restroom break and to stretch my legs. Great little stop. Awesome view beach on approach. Watch for birds
 

From Chris Hulen on 19-Nov-2006

The fuel pump would not read my MasterCard but did accept Discover, and receipts are now being printed. Parking areas (and where NOT to park) are well marked. Next time I'll stay for longer! Looks like a nice weekend getaway.

Thinking of flying down today, 11/07 and called city of PA and they said the pumps were now fixed.
 

From LeWayne Garrison on 11-Oct-2006

Arrived on Wednesday for Sunday Departure. Fuel pumps broken. We called city office. They said they would take care of it by Thursday. Their definition of "taking care" of was hanging "Out of Order" sign. People taking care of airport don't understand airplanes. If we had landed with minimum fuel we would be stranded. City and beaches were wonderful.
 

From Dio Aspiras on 02-Oct-2006

Nice airport to visit. Taxi picks you up within 10 mins of calling them. We went to Trout Street Bar and Grill with the family. Very good food and atmosphere, just like being in Key West, FL without the noise.
 

From Trent J Corcia on 20-Jul-2006

Mustang Beach is a great airport. Very close to Port Aransas. Watch out for pedestrians (fishermen) near the runways as well as birds. The pump does print receipts but there is NO ink on the receipt (worthless). You still need to take a picture of the pump just in case. Fuel is still $3.95. Be sure to bring rope; they have tie-downs but no rope. You will be parking in the grass. FBO recommends Sharky's as a reliever port of entry.
 

From Douglas Patton on 13-Jun-2006

Beautiful scenery around the airport and the beach. There was however no receipt available. Would recommend that you take a before and after picture of the fuel pump for receipt purposes. Great fuel price!
 

From Jim Howard on 06-Mar-2006

Still a great stop. A few paved parking stops, most are in the sand. Anchors are clearly marked, but you need your own ropes. All paved surfaces in great shape. Taxi ride to town is ten bucks plus tip if your kidneys are not up to the free shuttle.
