Improved to Good Article status by Jibreel23 (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 14:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Newark Liberty International Airport; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Excellent article. Promoted to GA recently enough, long enough, neutral, well-sourced, no copyvio or other issues, interesting, hook cited in-line, QPQ done. ALT0 is nice and punchy. One question before approval: the cited source specifies first commercial airport. That may be in acknowledgment of Ford Field, a private airfield whose airstrips were paved in 1928 according to Flying Magazine. @Onegreatjoke: or @Jibreel23:, does your research lead you to believe that Newark Liberty is definitely the first US airport of any kind with a paved airstrip? If open to debate, please consider specifying "first major airport" or "first commercial airport" in the hook and perhaps also in the article. Thanks so much!

@Topshelver: I corrected the article, but I am not sure if I can help with the DYK as I do not know how to do it. Jibreel23 (talk) 14:21, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
