Cape May Airport (IATA: WWD, ICAO: KWWD, FAA LID: WWD), also known as Cape May County Airport, is a public airport located in Lower Township, New Jersey, United States, about four miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Wildwood, a city in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. This general aviation airport, located on Breakwater Road, serves Cape May County and is operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority. Hangar #1 contains the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, whose collection focuses on World War II History
 | |
Hangar No. 1, on the National register of Historic Places. |
The airport started in 1941 as NAS Rio Grande, named for its location near Rio Grande, New Jersey. Due to confusion with Rio Grande, Texas, the name was changed in NAS Wildwood in 1942. Then it became a civilian airport which is still in operation today known as Cape May County Airport.

Cape May County Airport covers an area of 996 acres (403 ha) which contains two asphalt paved runways designated 1/19 and 10/28, each measuring 4,998 x 150 ft. (1,523 x 46 m).
In a 12-month period ending October 31, 2008, the airport had 35,050 aircraft operations, an average of 96 per day: 29% local general aviation, 71% transient general aviation, >1% military, and >1% ultralight.

Accidents and incidents

Of the two crew members, one died and one sustained serious injuries. Of the passengers, 2 died and 6 sustained serious injuries. One seriously-injured passenger died one month after the accident, but was counted as a survivor by the National Transportation Safety Board report because it defined fatalities as individuals who died within 7 days of the accident.
