# SECTION E TE+T

The first use of the term "airport" originated in Southampton, England; when the flying
boats landed and departed from the port of Southampton, it was named air-port by the
Mayor.
The earliest aircraft takeoff and landing sites were grassy fields. The plane could
approach at any angle that provided a favorable wind direction. A slight improvement
was the dirt-only field, which eliminated the drag from grass. However, these only
functioned well in dry conditions. Later, concrete surfaces would allow landings, rain or
shine, day or night.
The title of "world's oldest airport" is disputed, but College Park Airport in Maryland, US,
established in 1909 by Wilbur Wright, is generally agreed to be the world's oldest
continually operating airfield, although it serves only general aviation traffic.


Another claim to the world's oldest airport is from Bisbee-Douglas International Airport,
Douglas, Arizona, US, which had the first airplane in the state. In 1908 the Douglas
Aeronautical Club was formed, starting with a glider made from mail order plans. This
glider was pulled into the air by two horses and flown behind the Douglas YMCA
building.

In 1909 a motor and propeller were put on the airplane, making it the first powered
airplane in Arizona. The airport's status as the first international airport in the US is
confirmed by a letter from President Roosevelt declaring it "the first international airport
of the Americas".
