That's a challenging one, but it's possible to use a lifecycle prefix like proposed:aeroway=aerodrome or abandoned=yes?
If 2 prefixes can be added, you could use abandoned:proposed:aeroway=aerodrome But I wonder if people are talking about the former proposed airstrip when they refer to this location. Is there a physical geography feature at this location as well, perhaps a valley or plateau or natural meadow?
