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

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...  :'(

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 ;)
