For an aviation history enthusiast like me, a site like this is always worth another look.
I live on the San Francisco Peninsula. I'd heard that there had been little airports up and down the peninsula, but I didn't know much about them. This page brought them to life:

I used to live in Los Gatos, and I had no idea there was a little airport in the hills just out of town!

- Stratoscope 3y agoMaking this even more of a fun coincidence, San Carlos Airport was SQL long before Oracle was founded!

- Stratoscope 3y agoWould that be Crissy Field? http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_SanFran.htm#crissy http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_SanFran.htm... There was also Montgomery Field / Marina Airfield (now the Marina Green), but you would have to be even older than me to have seen that one. http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_SanFran.htm#marina http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_SanFran.htm...
- eweise 3y agoYes the Crissy Field one. Didn't realize there was another marina one.
