Q59, Fremont airport in Calif. which was closed in 1986, for 2-3 days a year, went from land based planes to seaplanes.This is one such time. My logbook shows two floods in 1983 (one in Feb and March)which is the only time that happened.

- 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

- Fremont airport,Calif. soon after its 1986 closure.Due to the short closure notice and removal of planes and hangars,there were some angry owners. An X on a runway, I have seen to many in my time. View is east. - by S B J

- Fremont airport is at the bottom of picture and Moffett Federal airport (NUQ) is above it seen in the distance. View is to the west.Picture is from 1986 soon after closure.Years of following the levees(at safe alt) sure helped flying coordination. - by S B J

- 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
