EFD also is the home of some military aircraft. I remember vaguely reading somewhere that George Dubya Bush actually worked at EFD at one time after he graduated from college.

I used to take flights to/from EFD all the time when I lived in Houston.

THE FLIGHTS WOULD GET CANCELLED ALL THE TIME!

I agree with hsmythe. For that reason I would avoid this segment because of all the aggravation you'll have to put up with. The extra 500 miles ain't worth it. You can always connect later in your interinary if you want the extra segments.
