 - 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. - 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

 - 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. 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
