History

The airport was founded by Nathan "Bill" Morris on a potato patch located on Kent Island. He built a hangar with a small single family home above, creating one of the first hangar-homes in the country. Morris was one of the world's oldest active pilots later in life, flying at 98 years of age. The residential airpark is lined with 14 homes that share access to the grass runway.
