Smiths Falls Private Airstrip Non-existant/spam airport

I suggest rejecting this problem report. The airport does exist and the "additional information" in the report appears to be spam.

Kincardine Municipal Airport Wrong airport information (name, codes, frequencies, runways, etc)

Airport is Medium size not small. Compared to Owen sound CYOS with only one length of pavement, Kincardine has two which is runways 05 23 and 13 31.

open 2023-12-06 11:26:12 2024-05-06 12:01:26

I made the change. 4000 ft of paved runway and an airport of entry puts Kincardine at least on par with other Ontario airports marked as regional. It does raise the question though, does OurAirports have a standard definition for the difference between local and regional airports?

Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport Wrong airport information (name, codes, frequencies, runways, etc)

Fox Lake Airport Closed airport

Same fate as the last one, burned down in a fire along with the whole town, all residents were evacuated, everything in Fox Lake is gone

rejected 2023-05-22 02:15:43 2023-06-04 07:11:45

That's very sad about the fire. There is no NOTAM listing the landing surface as closed, but it is listed as restricted due to the fire. Presumably it is still available to frontline responders if needed?

Gordon Lake Airport Closed airport

Calgary/Okotoks (GG Ranch) Heliport Other

Slightly odd name choice in use of \ not / in the name. Care to ask the airport if they'd like to switch the angle of their slash?

Why? Well somewhat comically, when used in C/C++ software, the compiler baulks at \O being an invalid 'escape sequence'.

It's easily fixed in software, by changing the \ to a \\ to make the slash 'literal'.

But just thought I'd mention, as this airport is the only one worldwide that has \ not /
