Grissom Aeroplex (IATA: GUS, ICAO: KGUS, FAA LID: GUS) is a public/military airport in Miami and Cass counties, near Peru, Indiana. The airport is also located 11 miles (18 km) north of the city of Kokomo. It is the civil redevelopment of the former Grissom Air Force Base, which was realigned as part of the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure Commission process.
Grissom Aeroplex consists of 850+ acres and existing buildings under control of Miami County Economic Development Authority. It opened as a general aviation airport on 1 March 2008 with no commercial airline service scheduled. Miami County Aviation serves as the fixed-base operator for the civilian airport operations.[2][3]
