- Fremont,Ca closed in 1986.Most pilots who flew out of Fremont and there were many, will find this picture a familiar sight. It is on the 45 entry to runway 31 and over the landfill. Over the dumps, was an often heard unicom call.View is to the east. - by S B J

- 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

- 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
