Walter C. Teter (1863–1929) acquired the property in 1917.〔http://www.northjersey.com/news/education/at-least-he-s-still-got-his-diner-the-name-dropper-1.1301213〕 North American Aviation operated a manufacturing plant on the site during World War I. After the war, the airport served as a base of operations for Anthony Fokker, the Dutch aircraft designer. The first flight from the present airport site was made in 1919. In 1926 Colonial Air Transport at Teterboro was the first private company to deliver mail by air. During World War II, the United States Army operated the airport. The Port Authority of NY & NJ purchased it on April 1, 1949, from Fred L. Wehran, a private owner, and later leased it to Pan American World Airways (and its successor organization Johnson Controls) for 30 years until December 1, 2000, when the Port Authority assumed full responsibility for the operation of Teterboro.〔(Teterboro Airport History ). Retrieved April 30, 2007.〕 In January of 1954 Arthur Godfrey buzzed the Teterboro control tower with his Douglas DC-3, resulting in the suspension of his license.〔Henry III, William A. ("The Man with the Barefoot Voice" ), ''Time (magazine)'', March 28, 1983, accessed April 30, 2007. "So did another burst of temper the next year, when Godfrey, an avid pilot, grew angry with the flight instructions he had been given for his DC-3 and buzzed an airport control tower in Teterboro, N. J."〕 In 2003, U.S. Congressman Steve Rothman helped to authorize a federal bill to retain a ban on aircraft exceeding a weight of 100,000 pounds (45 t) from taking off from Teterboro because of excessive noise levels in the surrounding residential communities.〔(House Of Representatives Approves Rothman Measure To Keep Boeing Business Jet Out Of Teterboro ), Steve Rothman press release dated September 10, 2003, accessed April 30, 2007. "In a critical step forward in his efforts to protect the quality of life of the people of Northern New Jersey, Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ9) last night got the U.S. House of Representatives to approve a measure he authored to stop the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from lifting the 36-year-old, 100,000 pound weight limit at Teterboro Airport." 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teterboro Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
