(ICAO: K3W3, FAA LID: 3W3) is an airport located five miles south of Stevensville, Maryland, United States, on the Chesapeake Bay.[2]

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]
