Millville Executive Airport (IATA: MIV, ICAO: KMIV, FAA LID: MIV) is in Millville, in Cumberland County, New Jersey. The airport, 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of the Millville city center, is owned by the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) and the City of Millville.[1]

It was dubbed "America's First Defense Airport" because of the nearly 1,500 pilots who trained in gunnery practice at the airport with the Republic P-47 "Thunderbolt" plane during World War II.[2]
