Very thorough coverage of the 'hot spot's' @ STS. It has gotten rather busy there with the Rwy extension of 14x32 to 6000ft a number of years ago. Currently there is a full array of flight activity: both fixed wing and rotor Flight Training facilities, two FBO's catering to an active/busy Private/Corporate jet clientele , and is a main hub for Alaska Airlines West Coast traffic, in addition to also being serviced by American and Avelo. And lastly, but hardly least, it serves as a base for CalFire flight services during active wildfire season. So, yeah, pay attention to ATC !
Very helpful video for my first flight in. But why, why, why doesn't the FAA paint repeating letters on taxiways at confusing intersections? Cost of paint v. incursions.
This is a helpful video. STS is user-friendly and there are good runway maps on-line www.airnav.com/airport/KSTS But sure, the taxiways can be confusing if you don't consult a map.
Definitely one of the nicest introductions to an airport I’ve seen - nicely done!
This video genuinely makes me want to visit this place. This grooves
Thanks, love this! Suggestions: 1) landmarks used by ATC, 2) anything specific to helicopters, 3) transient parking guidance
Excellent series. Thank you.

Did my pilot training there last summer and found the tower folks to most professional and helpful. They set a great example for students there!
