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.

 - 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 ,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

 - 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

 - 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
