Not even close, but at least you tried. Ok. First hint. DFW boys should know this one as this airport is close to that hub. Daily EGF flights there.

Nope. It's in East Texas. And it's owned by a major university.

Jeff wins! It is Easterwood Airport. I'd say it's on the line of East Texas and South Central Texas. South Central Texas encompasses such a huge area I feel.

So I got curious. I grew up in Del Rio, TX in Val Verde County. It was always included in South Central Texas and KCLL is a 6 hour drive from me (I went to Texas A&M). So I was thinking that is too huge an area to be in the same region. So i looked it up. Looks like KCLL is in South East Texas. Right on the cusp of South Central. You can just make out the BR of Brazos County on the one map.

At any rate, I'll see if I can post another today.
