 Wharton Texas is located on Interstate 59; almost exactly between Houston, TX (about 60-miles southwest of Houston) and Victoria, TX (about 50-miles northeast of Victoria).  

From Houston: When coming from Houston, Wharton Airport is about a 40-minute drive, south on Hwy 59, from Sugar Land.  Wharton city has three exits, go past all three exits. You will then soon see (less than 1-mile) the Gas Station & “JR’s Smokehouse” on the right and “Carroll’s Gun shop” on the left, just past these businesses are two highway crossover’s (on the left side of the road) one right after the other.  The second left turn area is for the Wharton Regional Airport.  Turn left and cross the highway just pass the “Wharton Airport” sign (on the left) the street sign will say Robert Vonderau Road. 

 

This road turns left just past the oil well and then immediately turns right.  If you then just follow this southbound road all the way to the end of the road (about ¼ mile, to the last grouping of Hangers (Hangars #29, 30 & 31).  This is the place where Hughes Aero Corp is building, flying, training & servicing Powered Parachutes.  Our grass flight field is on the back side (the south side) of the Hanger complex.
