Wow, I thought this was a rather innocuous thread; a relatively
safe place to post, but alas, I think someone was just insinuated to be classist and racist based solely on support of his favorite aerodrome. Oh jeez,,, it was all tongue-in-cheek. He IS classist though (wink) By the way, what model BMW do YOU drive? ... :-}~ I still stand by my statement that the traffic to get to RHV, especially at peak and near-peak times (like cutting the afternoon at work a little short) is the main reason I prefer PAO. I'm starting from Santa Clara (office) and that's just how it works out. Also, from Campbell (home), which is a good ten miles closer to RHV than PAO, it's a faster drive on weekends. Both airports can get busy, and you might wait at PAO sometimes, ==== Might???? Sometimes???? Is that what ya call PAO's 'parking lot' in the run-up area...??? ;-) If ya have the money to burn,, ,then go ahead,,, but I'd rather see my flying dollars translate into the most flying time I can possibly get and don't get me started on how 'fun' it is waiting to get sequenced out of PAO versus RHV. I have seen [nice|beater] [foreign|domestic] [automobiles|aircraft] at both airports. Naw,,,, PAO is BEAMer and Mercedes land,,,, any beat-up cars you see come from the impoverished help that they hire to service the 'rich folks'. Working folk fly out of RHV.... ;-) For the record, they're both fine airports. The wet rate for your favorite airplane is higher at PAO. That's a fact. There are restaurants near RHV that are good, and there are restaurants near PAO that are good, too. Lunch near PAO will cost you more, however. Yes they are LOTS higher!!! Suggestion for those who aren't in the know.... Go to Nice Air, take your lessons or rent a plane at a lower HOBBS and INSTRUCTOR rate AND you WON'T HAVE TO PAY MEMBERSHIP OR MONTHLY DUES!!!!!
