Q59 Airport - 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.

  • Q59 Airport - 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 by S B J
  • Q59 Airport - 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 by S B J
  • Q59 Airport - Fremont airport ,Calif. Picture is two years after closure.For such an active airport it was remarkable safe. There was several accidents,but only one was a fatal (8-8-75) and was due to a mechanical issue.Fremont had a lot of good pilots and instructors. - by S B J by S B J
  • Q59 Airport - Fremont airport in the SF Bay Area when it was at its peak, was closed in May of 1986. Was a no frills grass roots airport that didnt even have runway lights,only relectors.They worked just fine but planes without lights,then it could be interesting. - by S B J by S B J
