Brooks Field (ICAO: KRMY, FAA LID: RMY) is a city-owned, public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) south of the central business district of Marshall, a city in Calhoun County, Michigan, United States. Brooks Field was officially dedicated in 1931, although the first plane landed there on November 9, 1929.
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned RMY by the FAA and no designation from the IATA. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.
Brooks Field covers an area of 170 acres (69 ha) at an elevation of 941 feet (287 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 10/28 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,501 by 75 feet (1,067 x 23 m). It also has a one helipad designated H1 with a concrete surface measuring 50 by 50 feet (15 x 15 m). The airport is staffed from 8AM until dusk, except for major holidays.
