"
We work hard to keep the
community involved. Lakeway is
a great asset to the community.
-Phillip Thompson
"
HOA President Phillip Thompson keeps his 1977 V-tail Bonanza in his hangar
overlooking the Lakeway Airpark runway and his office is located over his
hangar (below). Having children at the Meet the Pilot event is one of the
hallmarks of the monthly gatherings. The " Airport Mascot, " a yellow Ercoupe
mounted on a pole at the airpark's entrance, was trucked from Oklahoma to
Texas by former Lakeway Airpark resident BD Thompson.
Life on the runway
Keith Durio, a contractor and pilot, built
his wife her dream home. It was where she
wanted it, designed the way she wanted
it, and when they moved in, just the way
she wanted it. Then he flew his Cessna
310 into Lakeway Airpark, visited with
homeowners there, and found a lot to
purchase. He came home to their " dream "
home with a new dream-to build a home
on the airpark and live with their airplane.
Marriages have ended over less. But Sue
Durio is not a typical spouse. She's Keith's
co-pilot in all things.
" I said 'no way' at first, but it has been
good. One of the main reasons are all the
friendships we've made here. It was a
great move because of so many friends;
it's our social circle, " she said.
The couple built a three-bedroom
home with a small pool opposite the
terminal building and clubhouse on
Flying Scot Street. Their backyard
adjoins the golf course. They keep their
Cessna 310 in the hangar attached to
the house. Keith enjoys sitting outside
with the hangar door open so neighbors
can walk up and visit. On this day he is
watching the Masters Tournament golf
championship on his outside television.
He delights in neighbors walking by and
stopping to ask who is in the lead.
" Aviation is a small part of what
Lakeway is, " Durio said. Sue adds that
there are championship golf courses, the
lake and marina, and a world-class spa.
The couple uses the 310 to visit their
grandchildren and to go on vacations.
" We've been to Belize, the Bahamas,
upstate New York-we've been all over in
it, " Sue said. " But it's nice to come home. "
Thompson lives directly on the
runway. His home is 2,500 square feet;
his hangar 2,000 square feet. His office is
in the hangar, and it overlooks the runway.
" My favorite things are the friends and
the camaraderie, " he said. " If you need
something, someone has it. We have movie
nights, popcorn. We set up a screen in a
hangar and people pull up in their golf
carts. Golf carts are indispensable here. "
He learned to fly at the age of 40. He
has owned a Luscombe, an American
