That's a great improvement. It makes the airport list way more useful.
While filters by area would be nice, just allowing users to search for
their local airport is going to make things much easier for newbies.
BTW, I have a text file with the mapping from ICAO prefixes to country
names that I wrote a while ago for a mission generator project if you want
it. Might save you some time if you're thinking of enhancing it further.
