Grenada Municipal Airport (ICAO: KGNF, FAA LID: GNF) is a city-owned public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) north of the central business district of Grenada, a city in Grenada County, Mississippi, United States. The airport serves the general aviation community, with no scheduled commercial airline service.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned GNF by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA. History
Built during 1943, the airport was known as the Grenada Army Airfield during World War II, the United States Army Air Force Army Air Forces Training Command.
Grenada Army Airfield's primary mission was described as follows: A. The deliver Army ground force combat teams at strategic points by: a. Parachute troops and equipment b. Delivering gliders with troops and equipment B. The field's secondary mission was: a. Reinforcement and re-supply of ground troops b. Evacuation of wounded
The field consisted of three runways - all of which were approximately 5000 feet long. The ramp and taxi strips were concrete-ramp being 500 feet by 3000 feet long. By the time the program was completed, fifty C-47 airplanes and 25 CG-4A gliders were brought to Grenada field to be serviced and prepared for use.
Troop Carrier Command assigned the following groups to the airfield for the purpose of training replacement crews.
- 63d Troop Carrier Group, 3 June 1943-10 January 1944
- 10th Troop Carrier Group, 21 January-8 March 1944
The headquarters unit on the airfield was the 443d Base Headquarters Squadron. In 1953 the airfield was turned over to the City of Grenada and became known as the Grenada Municipal Airport. The military has since made improvements to the field and jointly uses it with civil aviation.
