History

Before it got its International designation, it was called Weir-Cook Airport, after Lt. Col. Harvey Weir-Cook of Wilkinson, Indiana, who was a US Army Air Corps pilot in World War I and World War II, where he was killed while flying a P-40 over New Zealand. He was a flying ace during WWI, with seven victories. The airport opened in 1931 and the name was changed to Weir-Cook in 1944.

On October 31, 1994, American Eagle Flight 4184, which was flying to Chicago, Illinois's O'Hare International Airport from Indianapolis, crashed into a soybean field, killing everyone on board.
