Redbird Skyport, one of two service providers at San Marcos (Texas) Regional Airport (HYI), located midway between San Antonio and Austin, closed its doors last week after eight years in operation. The facility was owned by parent company Redbird, which is known in the flight training sector for its affordable motion simulators and other training devices, and a flight school/simulator showroom occupied half of the 17,000-sq ft-terminal.
