Clear Lake Transportation Tips by John_P_LSU

Ellington Field - EFD

Continental Express offers commuter flights into and out of Ellington Field in Clear Lake. The flights are via jet aircraft and connect with Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport - IAH.

Interestingly, be sure to keep your eyes peeled during taxi, takeoff, and landing. There is a great chance you will see NASA T-38 jets (that the astronauts train in), NASA's super guppy, and NASA's KC-135, also known as the <i>Vommit Comet</i>.

Also kept at Ellington are the Texas Air National Guard's squadrons of F-16 and F-15 fighter jets. Watching one of those take off as you taxi is quite a sight (and sound).
