We were out for a drive and had always been curious about the Base so we stopped at the gate to ask…read moreabout touring. The staff at the gate were stern but helpful and personable. They told us there was a museum but we had to obtain a pass from the Visitor's Center. So off to the Center we went. The older gentleman working the desk at the Center wasn't helpful or friendly. He didn't greet us when we walked in, and had a stuffy attitude during the conversation as if we had no business there and weren't entitled to information. His answers were short and he wasn't forthcoming. We asked about a pass to tour the museum. He asked for our driver's licenses. After giving them to him he said the museum was closed that day. He returned our licenses and just looked at us. I asked if there were other areas we could tour (since we were there). His response was "you need a sponsor." I said, a sponsor? He said yes, with a military ID. Ok but that didn't answer the question and it was obvious he wasn't encouraging of "visitors" so we just left. I left wondering why have a Visitor's Center staffed by someone who couldn't care less about visitor's?

Travis is one of the largest Air Force Bases in the US. It's home to our largest military cargo…read moreairlift aircraft and with that comes the need for lots of real estate and... wait, I'm hearing the lyrics to a song: "Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in." Yes, lots of land but sorry, land that's also very well fenced in. Advice: contact Pass & ID prior to your visit to get your requirements down and the location of the visitor's control gate. This will save you some time and possible grief. It can also be a long drive if you show up at the wrong entrance. Travis moves supplies, cargo, and equipment all over the world and it's one of only a few bases with that primary mission and as such, Uncle Sam and the Air Force do an excellent job of keeping things operational, functional, and updated. The main portions of the base are clean, neat, and well-maintained. The facilities that most will be interested in and using, like the Exchange, Commissary, and recreation-related spots are all nice and modern. They have a great bowling alley and gym. The rooms in base lodging are clean and comfortable as well. I'll get some reviews up for each of those separately.

Nut Tree Airport is a great little airport close to a number of restaurants in walking distance…read more Fuel is usually cheapest in the region for 100LL. I did my Private Pilot training here and made a lot of great friends along the way.

Yesterday was my first time flying into Nut Tree (KVCB) Airprot but, now that I know what to expect…read moreonce on the ground I plan on making Nut Tree a routine destination. More on that in a moment. Nut Tree is an uncontrolled airport with one just over 4000 foot runway. It's well maintained and if flying in or out after hours, the PCL is above average. Fuel. Is also reasonable at $4.72 per gallon and they do maintain a pilots lounge area to take a break (hours unknown). After landing and parking at one of the many spots with chain tie downs, it's a short walk via the field behind the hangers to local eateries or the Vacaville Outlets. A few mentionable items: Runway 2 is the calm wind runway with a left traffic pattern. If your flying to or from the South and progressing through Travis's Airspace, be sure you establish two way radio comms with Travis Approach. Remember, Travis still is an active AFB. The gate leaving the airport to the shopping area has a code but, that gate combo lock is a bit tricky. Be sure you play code and lock before leaving the gate so you don't lock yourself out.

TSA pre-check a breeze, except I always seem to get selected for the "random" check. Still an easy process. Airport gate seating areas were clean. Restrooms were nice. Fully enclosed private stalls always appreciated.

Everything…read moreworks, nothing appears to be broken, the escalators and the trains work, checked bags come fast, security lines are well staffed, restrooms are clean. 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.

I always loved this little airport. Always so clean So many…read moreinteresting people. I even learned to fly a plane here. My two sons also took flying lessons here. My folks loved the restaurant at this airport. It was so unique because the chef would put a big river rock on top of the steak to cook it through. Never seen that done before. Besides steaks, lots of other delicious choices. I really like this place.

Today was my first time landing and departing from Napa…read more The PROS: They have three runways and able to accommodate the always blowing and changing winds. The ramps, especially the one in front of the Napa Flight Center is well paved and maintained. The CONS: Not a radar equipped facility. I was handed off to Napa's tower and asked for location and altitude. Kind of the last thing I need to worry about on my final approach into the airport. When departing, I was asked to depart on 28L which is just over 2,500 feet long. When I'm flying solo, it's not really an issue but, with a full load and passengers, I need and would like a runway over 3,500 feet. Because they are not a radar equipped airport, I couldn't request a VFR departure. I had to wait until I was airborne and radio Oakland Center with my flight following request. Napa's a nice airport but, I think a bit behind the times. A city like Napa, with it's clientele deserve more and better.

This is the cutest little airport ever! We landed here and it was a little bumpy but a great flight…read morenonetheless. Also they are very pet friendly here and I saw a cute dog! I highly recommend flying JSX to Concord!!

This is my home airport, what is not to love? =)…read more Anyways, Buchanan Airport is one of the more competitive GA airports here in the Bay Area. There are FBO's onsite to cater your fueling and pair needs as well as a few flight schools to help you on getting your license. There is also a kids play area on the airport and I always give the a nice wave when passing by to and from my parking. It always nice to taxi along jets as JSX airlines is also present in this field. Although a restaurant is not present within the premises, fret not. There are a multitude of good restaurants just stones away form Buchanan airport. From the transient parking, the Veranda is just over a half mile with shops, restaurants, end even a movie theatre. I am glad to have KCCR as my home airport.

"Getting around" will break or make my review of any airport…read more So, I don't care if the misleading name reminds me of my Angels (The San Francisco Airport of Oakland). Nor is it important that Amelia Earhart landed here after being the first female to fly solo from Hawaii to US, and it was also her last take-off. Or that it was the world's longest runway in 1927. Or that it was used in "Star Trek IV" and TBX 1138. And, although I appreciate the jazz and hip-hop, it's not a factor. Nope. I'm not sure how it is flying out, but flying in was a breeze. And it gets five stars for me being able to walk intuitively straight from my plane to my well-organized, simple, and long Uber platform without searching for signs and walking for miles. It puts the OK in OAK!

This quaint little non-towered airport (O88) could be a hidden gem in terms of 100LL. Just browsing…read morearound the Bay Area airports, Rio Vista's 100LL price is very competitive. Being local to O88, they have some very good folks out there. Bathroom, kitchen, and a pilot's lounge are some of the convenience here, but do not expect vending machines for snacks and drinks. Overall, O88 is A++ in my book.

Rio Vista Municipal Airport is a small general aviation airport located in the city of Rio Vista…read more The airport is somewhat new and opened in 1993. Its FAA Location identifier is O88 It has two runways 7/25 at 4,200 feet and 5/33 at 2,200 feet. Both runways are asphalt. Fuel and storage is available 24 hours a day, but you may need to call ahead. We have on occasion made a fuel stop there in the chopper. The re-fuelers are quick and friendly even though we arrived at 3am. Aside from that its a pretty spartan affair

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.
