Aviation Attractions New Jersey

When Pierre Blanchard had risen from Philadelphia in a hot air balloon on January 9, 1793 and made the trip 15 miles across the Delaware River to Depford, New Jersey, who had made the first aerial flight Western Hemisphere, generating a long list of achievements aviation in the Garden State.

Charles Durant, of Jersey City, for example, had become the world later in the first American to fly in 1830 and Dr. Solomon Andrews, the construction of the first dirigibles three years later, rose above Perth Amboy and flew to Long Island, then an unheard Progress by air.

The brothers Boland, of Rahway, built the first fixed-wing aircraft in 1909 and became the first to fly in South Los United States. Three years later, in 1912, Oliver Simmons led the first official sack across the Raritan Bay-mail, from South Amboy to Perth Amboy, in a Wright Flyer. The first five aces of World War I was hailed from New Jersey, winning the title in 1918. The first airship, the USS Shenandoah had been built at Lakehurst in 1921. The Barling Bomber, built in the Teterboro Airport in 1922 by brothers Wittlemann had then been the largest aircraft ever conceived.

Air-cooled Whirlwind engine built in Princeton, had fueled many aircraft in the early 1920s. hub Metropolitan New York by air, established in 1925, was located at Hadley Field in South Planfield. Richard Byrd and Floyd Bennett had been the first to sail Teterboro built a three-engined Fokker, Whirlwind engine, over the North Pole in 1926. However, the feat had been one of many possible thanks to the engine: in 1927, Charles Lindbergh had flown across the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis, Clarence Chamberlin was flown to Germany two weeks later, Richard Byrd and a crew of three had traveled to France, all in the whirl-powered aircraft.

Newark Metropolitan Airport, the world's most active airfield, was inaugurated in 1928 and became the first U.S. location of air traffic controller, William "Whitney" Conrad.

The 1930 continued to see the achievements of aviation in New Jersey. Fokker, for example, had designed the most world's largest passenger aircraft, the F.32 at Teterboro Airport in 1930, Amelia Earhart while Chester had prepared for his solo transatlantic flight here and of course, the first aviation school was established in Teaneck. Rock Glen Decker became National Champion in both 1936 and up 1939. Station Lakehurst Naval Air had been the point of attachment for the Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg.

Owned and operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jesey, installation, covering 827 hectares, had originated in 1917 when Walter C. Teter had acquired the property for it. The oldest operating airport in northern New Jersey and New York metropolitan area, which had been the site of aircraft manufacturing North American Aviation during World War I and later served basis for Anthony Fokker. It had submitted its first flight, the current site in 1919.

Southern New Jersey is rich in historic Army and Navy air bases.

The Millville Army Air Field Museum, the first of which is located in Millville Municipal Airport and had been used for Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt pilot training during World War II.

Driving to the airport, now a center general aviation, is like entering a time of World War II portal: ashes of several buildings and barracks block, characteristic of the war, eerily Sale silent and abandoned, as if the zone has provided once the scene of some important results, but his players had long since departed. The tracks continue routinely field takeoffs and landings, but mostly single-engine Cessna and Piper. However, the place had been an integral part of the Second World War and therefore therefore remains historically significant.

He had been one of the 900 airports of defense ordered by U.S. government to be strategically located around the country to be immediately convertible civil and military application to train opposing forces, in case of war. Unlike others, however, Millville Army Air Field had been the first and therefore had been dedicated as "the first defense airport in the United States" by local, state and federal when it was inaugurated on August 2, 1941 in the midst of a ceremony than 10,000 troops.

The current 923-acre Millville Municipal Airport, the second largest in New Jersey general aviation field, sporting an instrument landing system (ILS) and FAA Flight Service Station (FSS), the city of Millville leasing administration to the Delaware River and Bay Authority.

Today, the echoes of the airport in their World War II role. Of the 100 buildings occupying the site over the four years between 1941 and 1945, 20 remain and form the world's largest collection of original structures during the war, and preservation the main area, two hangars and buildings of 18 years, has been ensured by their inclusion in New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places.

Henry H. Library Wyble Historical Research and Education Center, one of them is in one of the original store base and sports a wide collection the war-related book, videos, historical documents, and models of aircraft, and serves as a large theater screen. The center, which opened in 2007, has two eight by ten feet, "imitation," partially open the door by local artists painted murals on its facade.

Construction Link Trainer, which come from 1942 and that requires two years of restoration, houses one of five coaches link yet operational. Designed by Edwin Albert Link in family business organ-building in Binghamton, New York, to provide training tool for World War II pilots during poor visibility and night conditions, the device, the loans the bellows of the organ to simulate inclines, declines, and banks had accounted for 6271 sales to the Army and 1,045 to the Navy and is currently available for use by the visitor for a small fee.

A collection of vintage aircraft, private property Thomas Duffy and stored in one of two historic hangars, including the P-47 Thunderbolt "No Guts, No Glory", one of the ten aircraft still airworthy and the same type that had been created the air base.

Original pilot program Ready Day Room, built in 1943, now houses the Ops-Air Crew Lounge Big Sky Airlines.

Nucleus of the historical field, however, is the Millville Army Air Field Museum in the original Force Air Force World War II Artillery School Administration Building used between 1943 and 1945 and restored in 1988. The museum, founded by Michael T. Stowe to preserve U.S. history military aviation, the majority displaying artifacts, equipment, photographs, and the engines produced by veterans of the air base.

A Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp radial engine, dual row, which had fed the P-47s based here along with several other Army and Navy designs, emphasizes the sheer power of this powerful engine and is a highlight of the show. A dome light had been measured the height of the clouds, while a directional gyro had served as pilot training aid for navigation.

The metal, interlocking Mardson Mat, designed by the British, had facilitated the takeoff and landing operations in poorly equipped. According to George Canning, a current Millville Army Air Field Museum members who had enlisted in Army Air Corps in December 1941 and had served in the South Pacific, "which is the best invention of the entire war. Put together and you have a clue instant landing! "

The seaplane base in the Philadelphia Museum, founded in 1915 by the family of Robert Mills and moved to present site in 2000, shows wings Aeromarine, props, and pontoons.

Nordon bomber, mahogany the nose of a Curtiss seaplane, a collection of model airplanes in the memory of Robert Wilinski, photographs, a collection of uniforms, and a typical Army barracks set up to complete the internal sample, while two planes are given out. The first A-4F Skyhawk, was assigned to Attack Squadron 192 aboard the aircraft carrier USS Orskary in 1968 during his Vietnam War combat period, while the second is a short Brothers SD3-30 called "Kwajalein Atoll."

Apart from the displays, the fields of World War II pilot Museum Meeting videos, educational programs, aircraft fly-ins and air shows, and events of the veterans.

Millville Army Air Field, the time portal World War II and once an important pilot artillery training center on the east coast with a fleet of P-47 Thunderbolts, is an experience that transcends history living in the past and tells his story to visitors at present.

The second historical base in southern New Jersey, the Naval Air Station Wildwood, is at the airport in Cape May. Built in 1942, has provided training dive bombing with a fleet of Douglas SBD Dauntless, SB2C Helldiver Curitss, Grumman TBM Avenger, and aircraft Vought F4U Corsair, at which time its pilots, air arranged in groups, had been transferred to their respective aircraft carrier in the Pacific.

When victory, had closed the doors of the Second World War theaters in 1945, the Navy had interrupted their training programs at the Naval Air Station Wildwood and in December the following year, had been disabled, its 109 buildings have been declared surplus. Of these, 79 had been offered by the War Assets Administration, he had acquired the property intermittently, for use off-site, while several larger structures had given Cape May County, who had resumed operation of the station. Hanger Number One, which had been designed by architect Albert Kahn and whose construction had begun in October 1942, had been one of them.

Consisting of wooden trusses bolted Pratt divided into panels of three meters on the level of the ceiling, the cavernous structure, 2.558 million feet had been 290 cubic feet long, 219 feet wide and 51 feet high, and had concluded with cross-braced vertical supports at its north and south and central support provided once the division between its two internal bays. His elevation from east to west and had been created by 12 full-height telescoping doors. Offices Apart from the housing once the fleet air station, has also stressed, work rooms, and maintenance facilities.

The structure later dropped, after having fallen into a state of disrepair with cracked windows and rotted wood, had risen and Dr. Mrs. Joseph E. Salvatore in 1997, which had formed the nonprofit organization the Naval Air Station Wildwood Foundation, to save and preserve it as a memorial to the 42 pilots who have lost their lives during their training here from 1943 to 1945, and was subsequently listed in New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places in meaning national level. hangar that now houses the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, which has about 30 aircraft, engines, interactive exhibits provided by the Institute Franklin of Philadelphia, films, a library and a gift shop.

The hangar, commissioned by the Navy in April 1943 and one of the few structures of the Second World War all-wooden, is impressive in size and magnitude, and represents the conversion of resources created by nature for human use.

aircraft helix are represented by the Vultee BT-13 trainer, the OE-2 "Bird Dog", the Boeing Stearman PT-17-Kaydet, North America T-28C Trojan, and the Avenger Grumman TBM-3E, one of eight designs that appear on the National Register of Historic Places, while pure jet fighters including the McDonnell-Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, Grumman F-14B Tomcat, and a MiG-15.

Apart from the aircraft and engines themselves, Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum often hosts fly-ins, the ceremonies for veterans, Historical lectures and field trips.

The 1,000-acre Cape May Airport, the location of the museum, is itself of historical value, after have evolved from the naval air station base. Sporting two runways 4998 feet (1-19 and 10-28), six traffic lanes, and three parking ramps, Field installation of 39 000 general aviation movements annually mainly composed of corporate aircraft, recreational and rental, and stands as a testament to the location in the fields after the corn crop had grown later, the dive bomber pilots whose skills have been instrumental in the Pacific theater and final victory of World War II.

Pierre Blanchard hot air balloon ascent in 1793 had sparked a long list of achievements aviation in New Jersey, a path can be retraced today by visiting its museums and airports Teterboro Airport in the north to the Air Station Naval Wildwood in the south.
