Nut Tree Airport

We landed at Nut Tree and the funny thing was that as soon as we landed, the mobile gas tank to fill your plane up was there in an instant! Apparently what I heard from my pilot friend is that if you get their gas, your landing fee is waived. Pretty handy. I just loved how they just appeared so quickly.
Inside was very nice. The toilets are very clean.
The front desk area has little things to sell like toiletries if you forgot it. There were free little packets of toothpaste which I forgot so it was handy that they were just there.
One of the staff that had dreds was super, super, nice! I was getting Über to head out to Santa Monica and he put in an address that will help Über find me better. He was just absolutely helpful.
What a cute little airport :)

Yesterday was my first time flying into Nut Tree (KVCB) Airprot but, now that I know what to expect once on the ground I plan on making Nut Tree a routine destination. More on that in a moment.
Nut Tree is an uncontrolled airport with one just over 4000 foot runway. It’s well maintained and if flying in or out after hours, the PCL is above average. Fuel. Is also reasonable at $ 4.72 per gallon and they do maintain a pilots lounge area to take a break (hours unknown).
After landing and parking at one of the many spots with chain tie downs, it’s a short walk via the field behind the hangers to local eateries or the Vacaville Outlets.
A few mentionable items:
Runway 2 is the calm wind runway with a left traffic pattern. If your flying to or from the South and progressing through Travis’s Airspace, be sure you establish two way radio comms with Travis Approach. Remember, Travis still is an active AFB. The gate leaving the airport to the shopping area has a code but, that gate combo lock is a bit tricky. Be sure you play code and lock before leaving the gate so you don’t lock yourself out.

Nice little airport to fly into.
Convenient access to Nut Tree shopping center nearby by using a walking path. We generally fly in to have lunch and fly out.
Lots of transient parking for those who want to fly in for the day and leave.
