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

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.
Add the new Air port in Marib City ,in the north part

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

doors lock at 5
VIDF - NNS Pithoragarh Airport India
Just a minor info concerning the information received by clicking the relevant symbol in the world map for the a.m. location. Not only is it miswritten > Pithorgarh < but more important it is not located in the State of Uttar Pradesh, but in the State of Uttarakhand. Correction shoudn't be a great deal, should it ?
Nice little airport
Just dropped in to meet someone with tractor parts for me to take home for some friends.
Nice Runways for a small place
Stopped in for Fuel after picking up some parts for a tractor across the lake.
Scratch that
New heading coming up for Beijing Nanjiao.

Currently known as Moonbow...

Airnav and FAA now list this as CLOSED INDEFINITELY so there we go.

Strictly speaking, not in Cyprus

β @david at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus
This base and Dhekelia 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.
