There is one "field" left in apt.dat airport line which is deprecated. 
This would be the only possibility to set a flag (0=open, 1=closed ?), 
but I think with this flag set FG apt.dat is not compatible anymore with 
original xplane data.

I guess some "external" apt.dat readers around use the [X] somehow ?

(Remark: What I wrote about FAA and "Cl" is wrong, there are three 
states in US data: CI - closed indefinitely; CP - closed permanently; O 
- operational, so closed in apt.dat should mean "CP" I think.)

Cheers, Yves
