About David Wayne Hooks Memorial
Hooks Airport serves the north-Houston corporate and recreational market — specifically The Woodlands, Spring, Tomball, and the Grand Parkway corridor. One of the longest non-towered runways in the country at 7,009 feet, which means large-cabin jets can operate here with no ATC congestion costs. Significant Part 145 presence, two FBOs, and a large population of owner-flown pistons and light turbines based on field.

Common questions about David Wayne Hooks Memorial
Is Hooks a viable base for a corporate G650 or Global 7500?+
Yes. The 7,009-foot primary runway handles ultra-long-range jets. Many G650 and Global operators prefer Hooks over Hobby for the lack of commercial-traffic delay and the North-Houston proximity to Woodlands HQs — the tradeoff is non-towered operations.
How is Part 145 availability at Hooks?+
Strong. Multiple on-field Part 145 shops cover airframe, powerplant, avionics, and specialty work. For owners based elsewhere, Hooks is often chosen for maintenance stops when touring Texas because of shop quality and ramp capacity.
