Reid-Hillview Airport (RHV),
18 nm north of South County Airport, as well as Palo Alto Airport
(PAO), 34 nm northwest,
has numerous flight schools and flying clubs that offer a wide variety
of rental aircraft. However, both are towered from 7:00 am to 10:00
pm (9:00 pm at PAO) daily. Some of the volunteers supporting the
IDPA fly-in who are radio-qualified pilots, as well as several CFIs,
will be happy to assist you with flying to towered airports.
Keep in mind that all aircraft rentals will require a checkout with a CFI, as well as proof of
license and a current medical certificate.
