Directions to N5156X at Amelia Reid Aviation


If you're reading this page, it's probably because Lance or I pointed you here for directions to the plane. If so, read on.

To Reid Hillview

Using your favorite on-line mapping service, figure out how to get to Reid Hillview Airport, which is located about 1 mile east of the 101/280/680 interchange in San Jose.

You'll need to end up on Capitol Expressway and take that to Cunningham Ave.

To Amelia Reid Aviation

The Amelia Reid Aviation hangar and office is located at 2650 Robert Fowler Way. You'll turn onto Cunningham Ave from Capitol Expressway and take an almost immediate right onto Robert Fowler Way. Use the annotated map below (or click it for a larger version) for reference.

Follow the green arrow to the "A" on the map. That's the driveway for Amelia Reid Aviation. Park along the perimeter of the office/hangar near the "A" or on the east side where the tip of the "Amelia Reid" bubble points.

To The Plane

Once you're parked, find your way to the plane either through either the fence gate (near the grassy/tree area by the "A"), through the building, or around the east side where the fence doesn't quite meet the hangar (there's almost always a green ford pickup truck parked there).

Our plane is one of only two blue and white Citabrias on the field. The other is N5032G and is parked closer to the hangar. Ours is in the second row from the hangar, as illustrated on the map. The "Our Plane" bubble points directly to its parking spot.

Just for reference, here's a picture of the airplane.
