[2] Once the combat unit moved out, Frejus became a transport airfield, supporting C-47 Skytrain resupply and also casualty evacuation flights, until being returned to French control on 20 November 1944.

The runway and taxiway appear to be in very good condition, but are marked with large X's to indicate the closure of the air field.
