Back to Llano

It's been about 7 years since I've been to Llano. Larry, the airport manager has retired but it is still as good of an airport as you'd ever want to visit. I can't say enough about the how good the service is there. Roy is the man there now and he is awesome! So if you're headed there for some Cooper's BBQ, bring him back a sweet tea. He'll really appreciate it.



Llano is a great little place to visit. They have a great porch filled with rocking chairs, for those not in too much of a hurry. Roy will come out and greet you in his golf cart and help you with anything you need.




Now for the crew cars. I only got a picture of one of the Crown Victorias. They have 2. Number 1 has a working passenger door. They also have a Suburban and a passenger van. No one goes hungry here.



As far as Crown Vics go, it was very clean and the A/C worked.


 I also found out that Llano is the deer capital of texas, or so they say. When we took off to the south, there were several deer stands very close to the airport. I'm not saying that this is good or bad, just stating some facts.


Of course we were there for BBQ! So off into town we went. This was Scott's first time there and he soon found out why I like this place so much.


That's 3 ribs and a nice chunk of brisket. You have to get the brisket dunked. This was some of the most tender brisket that I've ever put in my mouth. We both had to bring home some for the wives, if we wanted to maintain our status of sleeping in our own bed.



When we got back, it was starting to get busy as another Cirrus, a Meridian and a King Air had arrived and when we were getting fuel, a Grumman Tiger landed and taxied over.




So now it's time to head back to soggy North Texas. I hope it won't be another 7 years before I come back.
