Once a bustling military air strip with two fully functioning runways, the NAS in Alameda, California. The base closed on 25 April 1997.



Now, a home to a very famous Navy ship. The USS Hornet, was given to the former air station to be used as a museum ship https://www.google.com/maps/place/USS+H ... 22.3025322

Mr. Fozzer, Thanks you for (My guide for my various explorations.....>>>> http://www.airfields-freeman.com/ ) that was great!!

You are very welcome!

I spend most/ALL of my flying time exploring; "old scenery" in great detail, with the help of Maps, Photographs, and Wikipedia; and that site is a valuable source of information on old Airfields, now long gone!

I've spoke with a guy with Team SBD about them releasing scenery of the old air station and he explained there were elevation issues created by limitations within FSX , but they were still looking into producing the air station. I sailed out of there during the early 70's on the Enterprise and my squadron often practiced touch and go landings there in H-3's. There was a great scenery of NAS Alameda for FS-9 with the buildings, docks and a static carrier and supply ship, I can no longer find a copy of it on line.

It's the thought that counts. Mr. dspoon54, Thank You and Welcome to Simviation
