Facts about the city
Grissom Air Reserve Base is a United States Air Force base, located about 12 miles (19 km) north of Kokomo in Cass County, Indiana and Miami County, Indiana. The facility was established as Naval Air Station Bunker Hill in 1942 and an active Air Force installation from 1954 to 1994. Since then it is a joint-use civil airport/military base with the Grissom Aeroplex providing general aviation and charter service. The base is named in memory of astronaut and Indiana native Virgil I. \"Gus\" Grissom, who, along with fellow astronauts Ed White and Roger Chaffee, perished in the Apollo I fire at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 in 1967.

History
In 1992, Strategic Air Command (SAC) was inactivated and the 305th realigned to the newly established Air Mobility Command (AMC), merging former SAC air refueling aircraft with strategic and tactical theater airlift aircraft operated by the former Military Airlift Command (MAC), the latter also having been inactivated on the same date. This is the first step in making Grissom JARB a joint civil-military regional airport. The 305th also delivered food to the Kurds in Northern Iraq from April to May 1991. The wing provided tanker refueling support to units involved in the Invasion of Grenada in October 1983 and the restoration of democracy in Panama December 1989. With the retirement of the B-58 in 1970, the 305 BMW was redesignated as the 305th Air Mobility Wing Air Refueling Wing (305 ARW) on 1 Jan 1970.
