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.
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.
