BRADFORD FIELD
Bradford Field (FAA LID: NC05) is a private-use airport located three miles (4.8 km) east of the central business district of Huntersville, a town in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, United States. It is privately owned by W. O. & Cecil D. Bradford. It was opened in the late 1960s by the Bradford brothers at the request of a few private aircraft owners in the town of Huntersville. The original turf airport in Huntersville was little more than a fenced-in cow pasture located at one end of the Meacham farm south of Huntersville. A minor aircraft accident involving a Piper J-3 "Cub" and the subsequent FAA investigation led to the closing of Meacham field, and the forced relocation of the two aircraft hangared there.
