✈️ **What Could You Build On an Airport?**

In this episode of *The Building Texas Show*, we uncover one of the most surprising aviation assets in the entire state of Texas: the Hondo Municipal Airport. Bigger than San Antonio International. Home to World War II’s largest air navigation training center. Now? 2,400 acres of wide-open opportunity.

We sat down with **Ryan Elder**, airport director and U.S. Navy veteran, to explore how this small-town airport is ready for a next-generation transformation. From **aircraft maintenance, aerospace innovation**, and **MRO operations**, to the future of **cargo**, **space commercialization**, and **eVTOL**—Hondo’s airport is a rare blank canvas for developers, entrepreneurs, and visionary leaders.
