![]() What about any other bay area airports that are GA friendly during the night? You mean among those that are not GA friendly during the day? It's not hard to get into SJC even during the day, and of course, OAK has an entirely "separate airport" for GA. Among the rest, your stuck with the highly limited choices of HWD, SQL, PAO, APC, DVO, RHV. ![]() midnight, but I'm not aware of any curfews that will affect a 152. Of course, the AF/D (or even airnav.com) has all the answers you need. -- dave j |

SJC closes at night as well (can't remember the time and I don't have my AF/D with me); I'd like to land in KSFO too eventually, the only Bay Area airport missing in my list :-) (did land in KNUQ a few times doing Young Eagles flights). My plan was to call the tower on the phone and ask them what time would be the least inconvenient. :-) --Sylvain |

He wrote a report on it and it was great. He did call ahead to find the best time. Also during the great Y2K, there was a girl flying at midnight and did a touch and go at DFW. No one was around. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI |

They only have two landing runways at a time. We did go into SFO 135 in the Debonair once though. It was pretty cool. Landing fee was reduced to $180 with fuel purchase. -Robert |

My only landing at SFO in recent memory was greeted with a "Here's your $75
landing fee" until they saw my passenger ... Governor Jerry Brown. Things got a whole bunch warmer thereafter.

If someone wanted to go take a trip to my home airport, I'd write for them a few paragraphs of stuff it's be good for them to know; none of which is in the AFD. You know, common reporting points the tower requests, typical taxi routes, local phraseology, stuff like that. Normally you can just kind of roll with it, but in a complicated Class B environment (especially at night), I'd hate to get stuck with something like a common taxi instruction I can't understand and have to ask the controller to repeat multiple times. |
