zReports maintains a records page for every US air tour operator on file, cross-matched at load time against the NTSB accident database. This page lists the operators whose home city sits within 150 miles of San Jose city center, nearest first. Distances are measured between city centers and are a drive-planning guide, not door-to-door mileage. Operators are never contacted, never notified, and cannot pay to change what a record shows.
