Uncertain status
The satellite imagery shows a possible clear landing area to the east of the location marker, but it's not at all clear that there is a real airport here, despite the fact that it appears in charts and Wikipedia and has an ICAO code.
Ghost airport?
No runway is visible in the satellite imagery. See problem report:

Twin airports
There is another airstrip less than 2 km away called Ishkoshim Regional Airport, just across the Tajikistan border. They're the same name, following different transliteration practices.

Straight skis
Winter flying
Hi Iβm wondering the condition of the runways during winter and if you can land and take off with straight floats ? And if so is there a contact to line up a place to tie down or even better hangar space for rent perhaps . Thanks

Gmr Delhi Airport β Misbehaved By Ground Staff
We had a flight on 25 Sep 2021 from IGIA ( New Delhi Terminal 3) to Colombo (Srilanka) at 4:15 pm (flight no-Al 281, seat no-20A, 20B, 20C, 20D). Between security checking and boarding gate 7B, we lost one handbag with expensive articles, important documents, and cash. and we realized this after boarding the plane. The in-flight staff was very cooperative.
However, a female ground staff (with a walkie-talkie in her hand) also checking the RTPCR report on gate no 7B was very rude. She misbehaved with my mother and my mom was pleading. Rather than helping us, she was harassing us. She even threatened to de-board us. She was behaving like she owns the flight and her language was very impolite and abusive(Abusive tone: "tere ko to main de-board karaungi..is aurat ko bahar nikal") this was the language used by that lady staff. She harassed my mother that much that my mother lost her consciousness & fainted in flight.
Is this the way to treat your passenger?? I want strict action against that lady staff. And, also I want to know what action you are taking.
I feel like this kind of person should not belong to any industry. I have a deep faith that GMR will help us and take strict action against that lady.
If I am not getting any help from your side then I have to look for other possible mediums to sort this issue. https://www.helplinehub.org/delhi-international-airport-contact-number/

November 2016 incident
Strictly speaking, not in Cyprus
This base and Akrotiri are actually part of the "Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia", under UK governance but following mostly Cypriot law. Keeping them was part of the independence negotiations in 1960.

Reply to @mforte: Done. Thanks for the update.
re: Wrong latitude
Updated β thank you.
Sad that this is now slated to be closed soon!
Sad that this is now slated to be closed! I visited 11-19-21 so I could have it in my logbook before it's gone...
Originally Henderson Field
For people interested in Second-World-War history.
Actual coordinates
-41.051666 -73.351110
IATA code
KLP used to be the IATA code for Kelp Bay in Alaska before that airport closed and many online data sources haven't been updated yet.
Unfortunately, that means that clicking on "Flights" will give you arrivals and departures for the wrong airport.
BCATP relief field
From @FlyingTom in a problem report:
This triangular field was RCAF Detachment Granum (for the nearby town) and was the #1 relief field for No. 7 Service Flying Training School at Fort Macleod.
Name of Airport
Maybe someday it will be the βSaint George-Southwest Utah International Airportβ but currently it is the St George Regional Airport
Opened in 2018
Closed in 2018
Replaced with https://ourairports.com/airports/WALS/
Appears closed
No sign of aircraft or buildings, and the pavement is in bad shape. Marking as closed pending more information.
3 fields near El Wak?
I do not like to start a debate, but pls note following: When creating entries for the airfields around El Wak, I added a comment in the entry for the disused city airport that there were possibly two other fields nearby. One of them (a gravel strip) was clearly visible approx. 7.5 kms to the west of the city, for which I created a new entry (KE-0212). I also added a link to the newspaper article which shows people celebrating the opening of what looks like a gravel strip. It is not clear whether this is the same strip of entry KE-0212). Lastly, OpenAIP has an airport HKEW at a location to the S of El Wak city. Although nothing is visible in satellite pictures, this could indeed refer to a stretch of the main road. I therefore have absolutely no problem of HKEW being added to the database with these coordinates, as David has done.
What bothers me somewhat is that this was not done by actually adding a new airport to the database, but by taking the entry for the gravel strip located to the W of the city, and changing its coordinates and designation (KE-0212 is now HKEW). Through this change we may well have a correct HKEW entry, but we have completely lost the gravel strip to the W of El Wak city from the database. I would propose that we do not do this in future and instead preserve other entrie (unless clearly wrong).
Thx for your consideration, Frits
Right on the green line
This helipad is right on the 1949 "Green Line". Based on user reports that it was under Israeli operation before 1967, I have assigned it to Israel rather than Palestine.
re: IATA note
Reply to @animebirder: Thanks for the clarification. I've removed the IATA code from the military base, because it doesn't show up in IATA queries.
Runway numbers
There is no information about runway orientation online. I estimated 07/25 based on the satellite photo and the magnetic variation of 8.5E. Please correct if you have more information.

Nice airport
Fuel pump card control wasn't working but friendly local helped out.
Really nice airport for a municipal airport
Stopped in to drop off a passenger. Friendly attendant and wasn't too scary to fuel up
re: (no subject)
Reply to @good2see: Corrected β thanks.
Fixed location.
GAP is an aeromodeling (R/C) field located just to the SE of the larger general aviation airport. Note that it is far shorter than the listed 1969'.

not Diyarbakir, it is DiyarbakΔ±r
IATA note
Has the same IATA code as Mano Dayak International but is a separate airfield, operated by the United States Air Force.
Update ident
Updated the airport's identifier to match the new icao code
New airport
2km stretch
this article suggested the new airport is a 2 km long straight stretch on a 10km road, so this location seems to fit the bill and matches the coordinates

Somaliland's principal airport
This is the main airport for Somaliland, which is self-governing and de-facto independent, but still considered part of Somalia by the international community.
Closed
User reports:
"Our airport in Outlook, Saskatchewan was permanently closed on December 31, 2020. Please remove from your map. Thank you"
"Closed permanently and the airstrip was disced up"
If it did exist, it wasn't here.
FAA is notoriously bad at plotting correct lat/longs of heliports. This probably did exist somewhere within a 5 mile radius of this spot. AirNav doesn't list RI14 anymore at any rate.

Private?
Looks like it might well be private aka "personal" - always hard to tell from far away.
