Talk:Bader Field

message: In May 2005 a Citation jet landing downwind on the Bader airport ran off the runway into the bay.  The event was captured on video, viewable in many places on the web.  It would be very interesting to note that event here.  It's a very interesting situation.  The airport diagram was attached to the pilot's control column stating the airport was "closed to jet traffic."
Also of interest is the fact that the jet was owned by Weibel Scientific, a world leader in doppler radar. Curiously, one of their 
foremost contributions to world science is to supply radar to NASA for the purposes of tracking falling debris during nighttime shuttle launches. 
This information traced to an article in Lloyd's Casualty Week - May 27, 2005 according to the discussion found here:

message: The America didn't take off from Bader Field, which didn't exist in 1910. It was kept in a hangar by the inlet and towed by yacht just offshore before the moorings were cut and the airship took off from over the water. "The last reported sight of the America and its crew was secured by a volunteer crew of the yacht Oliver, belonging to Col. Thomas Potter of Philadelphia, which guided the balloon out of the inlet...Col. Potter's small motor yacht towed the airship to the water's edge, and when the boat cut loose the monster balloon floated in the air."  Clamdigger7 (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
