I don't know if it is a bunch, but they certainly are there. I did a little research last year, and it looks like the GNIS list came from an FAA list. It appeared to include such things as clearance requested and granted for airstrips but never built, and former airstrips that have since been replaced by new construction. > All I know is that when I look > at the aerial imagery where some of these airfields/airports are supposed to > be, all I see is a field. Could be that it's just a grass runway?. Those do exist. Whether they merit inclusion on the map is subjective. I think the large/medium/small size suggestion is a really good idea. > In my > town there's one airport that's supposedly in the middle of the golf > course. There are some golf resorts with their own airstrips. But if you know the area, and know there is a golf course there and no airstrip, by all means feel free to fix the map and delete the obsolete airport item. Thanks for keeping an eye out for this stuff. - Alan -- Alan Millar a...@bolis.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
