A large number of airports will closed down due to the sequester starting on April 7, 2013 http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2013/02/22/travel-delays/1938959/ The Texas airports affected by the sequester are set forth below:

ACT Waco Regional Waco, Texas
BAZ New Braunfels Municipal New Braunfels, Texas
BPT Jack Brooks Regional Beaumont, Texas
BRO Brownsville/South Padre Island International Brownsville, Texas
CLL Easterwood Field College Station, Texas
CNW TSTC Waco Waco, Texas

RBD Dallas Executive Dallas
SGR Sugar Land Regional Houston
SSF Stinson Municipal San Antonio
TKI Collin County Regional at McKinney Dallas
TYR Tyler Pounds Regional Tyler, Texas

Sugarland airport is on this list. From what I have seen driving by this airport, it is fairly active for small private planes.

1. Georgetown and College Station are active.

The pilot that crashed into the IRS building in Austin took flight from there.

American Eagle provides service at Easterwood Field in College Station from/to DFW. Three flights incoming and two flights outgoing.

2. There are going to be some mad as hornets private plane owners!

3. Glad I stopped flying after Reagan fired the controllers.

Just seemed really iffy after that.

4. Looking over the list, the majority of these airports are in "red" areas.

Beaumont and Brownsville are both Democratic areas.

With the exceptions of the airports in Grand Prairie, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio the rest are in red counties in the 2012 election. I think that Grand Prairie and Arlington are coupled together since their is already air traffic control nearby from other towers.

Isn't it also fitting that the "executive" airports in Dallas and Houston are being closed? Make them CEOs suffer until we get a deal!
