At least, I have a nagging feeling that there are METAR reporting stations somewhere in the world not colocated with an airport, though I don't have time to check right now.

That's definitely a good idea. There are definitely many weather stations not colocated with airports (or at least that don't have corresponding airports in our database.) Any one know where we can get current and definitive information?

Ahh, yes. And my assumption that only four letter ids is apparently wrong. There are stations with digits in them, but apparently all 4 characters long. m. :-/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
