Two Airstrips remain at Gusap today. They are both grassed, and are maintained by the local Sugar Company. They are used for agricultural purposes, plus the occasional light charter for nearby mountain strips.

All the revetments [180] remain as well as concrete building pads and steps. Some old metal equipment can be found,including abandoned Airborne bulldozers, scrapped GMCs and jeeps and fuel tanks, including some used by the A-20s.

Much of the area is used as a cattle ranch today. Some aircraft debris is about, but all of the aluminium has been scrapped where access is easy. A number of aircraft engines can be seen, the last remnants of a once hectic six months, nearly sixty years ago.
