Naval Outlying Field Webster (ICAO: KNUI, FAA LID: NUI) is an airport located two miles (3 km) west of St. Inigoes, Maryland.
History
The airport was located on a Jesuit property owned since 1634. During World War II, 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.
