Reid-Hillview Airport of Santa Clara County (IATA: RHV, ICAO: KRHV) is located in the southern part of San Jose, south of San Francisco Bay, in Santa Clara County, California, USA.
The airport is primarily a general aviation airport; no scheduled flights by commercial carriers arrive and depart at this airport. The airport has a control tower which maintains class D airspace between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. local time and is uncontrolled at other times. Reid-Hillview's class D airspace is directly adjacent to San Jose International Airport's class C airspace on its east and south sides.
Groundbreaking for Reid-Hillview airport came in 1937; its open date needs to be added here. Bob and Cecil Reid first built the Garden City Airport in 1935, which was quickly closed to make room for United States Highway 101. Their second site was northwest of the Hillview golf course, hence the name. Until 1946, the single runway at the airport was unpaved.
Reid-Hillview was a single runway airport until 1965, when a second runway was added. Reid-Hillview's control tower was added in October 1967[1].
The land the airport is situated on is owned by Santa Clara County. Part of the land is occupied by two little league baseball diamonds, and a headquarters for the Civil Air Patrol. Several FBOs operate out of this airport.
