Naval Outlying Field Webster also Webster Field (ICAO: KNUI, FAA LID: NUI), is a military base with an airfield. It is a site of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) serving Navy test pilots and avionics engineering and development, located on the west side of St. Inigoes, Maryland, United States.[1] It is near Coast Guard Station, St. Inigoes.
History
The airfield 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 buildings 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, though only two remain in use today.
The Naval Air Navigation Electronics Project moved to the field in 1960.[2]
