San Jose, CA area tie downs/

Anyone have a website or a reference for looking up available tie down
space in the San Jose, Ca area? We might be moving in the next couple
of months and I want to find a place to tie down a C182. I have looked
up the area airports but am more interested in some personal
recomendations since I know we'll be paying a premium price for space.
(south of SF and SJ would be better than North)

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Reid Hillview is the least expensive option close to San Jose. Nice towered
2-runway airport, useless GPS approach, passable FBOs and repairs on field.
Tiedowns start at $79/month
Long link follows:

Lots of related dox on this site.

We have 2 planes at KSJC (San Jose International) and our tiedowns are
$145/month apiece. Multiple IFR approaches, top-notch ATC services, good
security and an airport administration that virulently hates GA. It would
take an act of God to get a tiedown spot there, but here's the web link.

Best bet is to call the GA business office listed on the web page and ask
for some info.

Good luck!!

Tiedowns at PAO and RHV are curently $106.50/month (3500 lbs and under).
Tiedowns at South County (Q99) are $79/month.
See http://209.35.171.214/arpt/docs/Arpt...le20030101.pdf
AFAIK, there is still about a six-month wait for a tiedown at PAO.
Hangars are of course pure unobtainium, but you can get a shelter spot
at RHV in about 18-24 months.

Last time I checked (about a year ago), tiedown rates at SQL are about
the same as PAO, but SQL has 24-hour security patrols.

If Q99 is convenient for you, there is plenty of space, and it is a
decent airport. No experience with the single FBO though.

County tie-downs at RHV are $106.50 per month for out side, double that for
shelters. There is a long waiting list for shelters and a ridiculously
long waiting list for hangars. (There are 156 entries on the hangar
waiting list, the oldest being from 1981 - 22 years ago!)
