Well, I'm a relatively new pilot, but I've lived in D/FW all my life so I feel pretty well qualified to speak about the place.
The controllers are more friendly than in other parts of the country, particularly the northeast. The people are typical Texan- friendly and gregarious as hell in person, rude as hell on the highway. Everyone lives in the mid-cities (Arlington, Plano, Irving, etc..) and works and plays in Dallas and Fort Worth. Winters are mild with a late February ice storm, Spring is all t'strms and rain, Summer is 90+ most of the time with plenty of low level turbulence and afternoon cumulus buildup. Fall is blase.
For fun, we have several hundred thousand sports bars, the Texas Rangers who choke every season, The Dallas Cowboys who spend 10 years doing cocaine after they win a superbowl, and the Dallas Mavericks who are getting better and better every year. If you have kids, take 'em to Arlington to the theme parks. If you're single, go to Dallas get drunk, and dance with hot chicks.
Fly east and you will see cows and oil fields and nothing else. There is nothing in Lubbock. Nothing.
Oh, and tell no one that you came here from Hawaii. They will look as you like you are insane. This is doubly true for pilots. Not that I don't like my home town, but I don't know a soul here that wouldn't pack up shop in a second to live in Hawaii.
