While still a functioning airport, this is the place known by locals more as the "airshow" airport…read more Every year, at least before COVID, you would come here to see an impressive display of flying might and the famous Blue Angels, who always delighted me with their incredible air maneuvers. I haven't been back in two years (again, blame COVID) but I remember this both as the place I have always enjoyed personally and then again through the eyes of my son. They bring in some impressive aircraft from across decades for the airshows. You can walk on the tramac, learn about the planes and even sit inside the cockpits if you're lucky. As I said, this is also an actual airport. It started strictly as a military setup but now businesses regularly shuttle in employees and land their jets here. A lot of private pilots, like those flying little cessnas, stop in here as well. Whatever the reason to visit, it's the kind of place you go if you love airplanes like I do.

Fully enclosed private stalls always appreciated.

And, the people working are friendly and helpful. Shuttles to the rental cars are frequent so picking up a rental is easy. The only thing that is currently not working for me- no Alaska lounge which would be a huge deal except that our routine of grabbing a nice sit-down meal before our flight is gone- yup- don't plan on food in terminal B. Our favorite restaurant is closed and nothing else is available - someday, maybe.

The day was marginal for weather so, I didn't enjoy what I know is a beautiful view as much as I wished. The airport itself is nicely maintained with cheap fuel, great services and plenty of free parking with tie downs. The approach and departure procedures for the airport are a bit tricky depending on which way the winds are blowing so, be sure to read up on them in the A/FD before your trip.

Landing was a bit tricky since the the common use runway (19) has a 18 degree uphill slope. Once on the ground, I found the parking had plenty of tie down chains for aircraft. The grounds, taxiway and runway also seemed to be very well maintained and manicured. Thank you Dave Sheppard for that. The airport doesn't have a FBO per-say but, there is an indoor business center that host a flight school, clean restrooms, a sitting area and a decent soda machine. Fuel prices on Sunday were $5.30 a gallon for 100LL which was great. There's also a nice grass area with three large picnic tables just outside the business centers doors which can easily accommodate 30 persons. If your ever in the mood for some really good pizza. I recommend flying into Westover and ordering from a place called Pizza Plus which is located about two miles away in Sutter Creek (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pizza-plus-sutter-creek). They will deliver to the airport at no extra charge and the pizza is amazingly good. Thanks Noel (Pizza Plus Manager) for taking the time to accommodate our group. If you plan on visiting the airport and having pizza for lunch at Pizza Plus, I'd suggest (if you have a bluetooth headset) calling in your order about 20 NM before you land. Good pizza takes a minute but, great pizza, especially if it's delivered takes forever.

My son has flown in here and in taking off and landing with him flying I did sort of question the location a bit. Unfortunately the landing strip is very near a main road and I've noticed several times coming down that road in cars when a plane is landing can be something of a harrowing experience. Aside from that, and though it has very few amenities, it has many fans here in Amador County, and I guess I'm one although I'd like to see it in a different location, not surrounded by the largest stores in the county.

Perfect little airport…read more The Stockton Metro Airport might just be the most convenient airport there is. If you drive yourself there, you will see two large parking lots where they offer paid overnight parking. There are plenty of spots available so there is no need to arrive extremely early to hunt for an open spot. There is a kiosk inside where you can conveniently pay for parking when you wait for your belongings at baggage claim. This is definitely not an airport where you have to follow the general rule of showing up two hours early. I have shown up less than 30 minutes from boarding time and made it to the gate with plenty of time to spare. If you do decide to come early and have daytime/early evening flight, you can stop by the small restaurant for a bite. Since the only flights out of STK Airport are to Phoenix and Las Vegas, the majority of travelers don't check a bag. This makes the bag check line super short and quick. The TSA line also goes by super quickly. There is only one agent to check IDs, but there is never any hold up. Even through the government shutdown, I experienced no TSA delays. For travelers with TSA Pre-Check, you'll likely be the only person in line and will get through even quicker. It only takes a few moments to get through the security clearance before you're greeted by a large waiting area and bar. The waiting area by the gates is quite spacious. Right before the flight boards, it can get quite packed but there are typically still seats available. The intercom system is awful. It sounds like static. If you pay attention or sit closer to the gate, it shouldn't be an issue though. The bar is the perfect addition, especially before Vegas flights. Many people taking that weekend night flight to Vegas uses the bar as a pre-game for their night out. Don't expect to sleep on those flights, they're super rowdy! The drinks at the airport bar are typical for airport prices. We got three drinks for $27. The bar, of course, is limited on what they can make due to their few ingredients. My margarita was made with mixer and had nothing on the rim. Despite being super busy, the bartender got the drinks out super fast. He ran that bar by himself like the military and with style. He slid the drinks across the bar top giving everyone a little show too. Because the departing flight is directly dependent on the flight coming in, there are sometimes small flight delays. They have to deboard everyone and do a quick pass through to let everyone else on which can take a while. Despite what you may think about Allegiant Airlines itself, this is a fantastic airport, especially for those wanting a weekend getaway or a connection to a larger airport.

He dropped me off and I checked out and flew the plane out of here and into Stockton. Before departing, I ran into their FBO to check things out (I had to go potty).

Accessible fuel pumps that take either credit or debit cards, a snack machine that accepts dollar bills and coins and a well maintained airport and runway.
