History
The airport was founded by Nathan "Bill" Morris on a potato patch located on Kent Island. He built a hangar with a small single family home above, creating one of the first hangar-homes in the country. Morris was one of the world's oldest active pilots later in life flying at 98 years of age.[3] The residential airpark is lined with 14 homes that share access to the grass runway.[4]
gollark: The bridge is via IRC and very hacky.

gollark: Well, I needed to overwrite `argv[0]` from Python;.
gollark: Great!
