Oakland AIFSS Building, 2000

Oakland AIFSS (OAK), California, 2000
Oakland FSS/AFSS/AIFSS has been housed in five different buildings. The first FSS was located out on the tidal flats and had to be accessed by rowboat. That building was relocated, at least in part, to an area of Bay Farm Island where it was above the tide line.

When Oakland developed their original airport, the FSS was again moved, this time into the airport terminal building where the FAA also located the original Oakland ARTCC and San Francisco Approach Control. Sometime in the late 50’s or early 70’s the FSS was moved again to a new building about 1/4 mile north of the old terminal building. In 1992 a new facility (shown above) was constructed on the airport to house the current AIFSS.
