R.I.P. Bader Field

[Willit Run]

I was down in Atlantic City this Sunday and past a lost relic, Bader Field. It's a shame they closed her down.

I hate it when aviation related things are just shut down...Greatest example was Meigs...Way to go Daley

Yeah, those fields carry a story with them, shame too see them go!

Unfortunately, I think most remember Bader Field more for a Citation landing and subsequent, I used the term loosely, taxi :-?

Great post, Corey- but it makes me sad.
Never did land there, although I did fly into the "big" airport once...  :'(

Sad to see an aviation relic gone.  Gonna go take another shot of Vodka now

Had to look twice, thought it said Badger Field.  Good post, quite the history this airport has

With the history behind that field Im surprised they didn't make it a national historic area. Of course it is in Atlantic City which means they will sub-divide it and open strip malls and casinos.

Personally, I would think that would be a nice area to open a historic flight museum
