Naval Outlying Field Webster, (ICAO: KNUI, FAA LID: NUI), is an airport located 2 miles (3 km) west of St. Inigoes, Maryland.^[1]

History

The airport was located on a Jesuit property owned since 1634. During WWII, the U.S. Navy purchased the land for $96,000 from the priesthood in 1943, paying them one year later. All building were demolished with the exception of the Jesuit fathers’ residence on Priest’s Point, and a tobacco barn near Fort Point. Three runways were originally constructed. The Naval Air Navigation Electronics Project moved to the field in 1960.^[2]
