Okay, ironic? Crashing your plane at the only State Park with a runway? (thankfully he was okay)

Beats landing on an active highway ;-) (Justin's a licensed pilot. No crashes... takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory.)

Wish we had the cash to rent a plane and check out that airfield... didn't realize TPWD maintained a runway that could legitimately be used to enter that State Park!
