- 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. which closed in 1986 was a very busy little airport,so it is surprising that it lasted only about 20 years.This picture was taken around 1980. View is SE.Last non tower airport in the SF Bay Area as Sky Sailing was a private airport - by S B J

- From time to time, Fremont airport would go from a land base to a seaplane based airport. Unfortunately for Cub 30472, this was one of those times. The Fremont flight school is seen behind 472. They did not offer any floatplane instruction. - 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
