AVIATION enthusiasts, developers and anyone looking for a parking spot for the private jet, take note: Atlantic City is selling a century-old former airport for a fraction of what it could have received eight years ago.

Bader Field, which spurred the first use of the word "air- port" in a 1919 newspaper, will go up for a minimum bid of US$155 million on June 17, after the city council of the distressed casino hub on Wednesday signed off on the move.
