Narrative:

At xx:30 small aircraft X requested taxi instructions from air service to the active runway. I taxied him to runway 26 the tower was restr to one runway due to the wind. When small aircraft X approached taxiway delta which leads to runway 26 he asked am I going the right way here. I responded yes cross that runway (31). In my opinion he was safely on his way. I had several other aircraft taxiing at the same time one of which required several xmissions. I then proceeded to catch up on the departure line-up for local control. The next time I looked up small aircraft X was on the north edge of runway 26 heading toward the approach end of runway 13. I quickly looked to see if any aircraft was on runway 26. I observed an small aircraft Y airborne between taxiway bravo and golf. He flew behind small aircraft X who was just on the far north side of the runway. I had small aircraft X make a 180 and hold short of runway 26. After coordination with local controller I taxied small aircraft X across runway 26 and turn left on taxiway delta leading to runway 26.
