June 21, 2026Great small airport if you're heading to this part of the Bay. Just make sure you study the VFR arrival procedures, same as any little Delta sitting beside a busy Bravo (we're pretty used to that from being based around Seattle), and you'll be fine. We located the procedures on the website in the noise-abatement section. Later in the day, expect some pretty serious sink on short final for 30. The tower controller was excellent to deal with, and Rabbit, as others have mentioned, was super helpful getting us an Avis rental. 10/10
