 - Fremont airport (Calif) at closure in 1986. Strange twist-both planes seen in pic,  ( once owned both ) they ended their flying days in Florida not far apart. The 150 due to storm damage & the 172 crashed into the water (9-23-12) off the Florida coast. - by S B J

 - Fremont airport,Calif. Old runway 31L,31R was a nice dirt runway.This was also the starting point for many (15 years worth) of my flying adventures! They sure were good years to be in general aviation.Would not trade them for anything! - by S B J

 - Fremont airport in Calif. did flood from time to time when Mother Nature was overly generous.South end planes (left) were OK but north end was 3-4 feet deep. Not so good. View is to the SW. - by S B J
