Great Saturday Pancake Breakfast!!!

Went to the monthly pancake breakfast at Modesto. It's on the second Saturday of every month. Some aircraft are on display so families can check out the planes after the breakfast. 6 bucks for a lot of good food. Not a bad deal at all. Controllers are also some of the friendliest I've ever heard, made me feel welcome!

Will be back!

Best Airport in the Bay Area for GA

In my opinion, this is the best airport in the Bay Area for general aviation aircraft. There is a 24 hour self service 100LL fuel, and Jet A is available 24 hours if you call ahead. If you don't call ahead for Jet A, the hours are 8AM to 8PM daily. The tie downs at transient parking are really cheap. 10 bucks a night for a single engine piston and 20 bucks a night for twins and jets. If there is not someone in the office inside the terminal, there is still a way to get ahold of one of the airport ops personal! There is a white box with a red button next to the window of the airports ops office in the terminal. Hold that red button down and when you hear a "beep" talk into the white box and your message will come through one of the airport ops's walkie talkies. ATC is always nice here, and if you don't know where your going, they are always glad to assist you. So if you own a small twin piston (C421) like me, avoid the ridiculous parking and ramp fees and San Jose International Airport KSJC and fly 5 miles south to Reid Hillview Airport KRHV and you will see the differences in quality, and the people there actually care about you unlike KSJC. Sometimes, there are people that marshall your aircraft and chalk your airplane for free if your a transient pilot! Just be sure to fly in IFR so they know you're coming :)

Cold in Winter and hot as hell in Summer. Use 8 and 26 if possible. Old WWll fighters rebuilt for some South American governments in the '60s and '70s.

re: is this a good place

Since nobody but Iran still flies f-14s, I'm suspicious of your motives for asking. :-)

Picture of

is this a good place

would this runway be sufficient for a f-14b grumman tomcat to take off?
