I also think that we should add a link to the airport from the city/cities that the said airport is actually located in. For instance, DFW Airport is partially in Euless, Irving, and Grapevine. WhisperToMe 03:34, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Airport Infobox?

The airport infoboxes are sufficiently "busy" that they would benefit from being templates. Was any more done on this? Warning: I only follow the Heathrow article - so sorry if it is implemented elsewhere and I missed it! Pcb21| Pete 15:14, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Project Participation

How does one become an "official" participant. I feel that my knowledge in the field of aviation can be an asset. I have already made a noticable contribution to Canadian airports. --Captain433180 20:43, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You join by adding your name to the project page. No, the infobox has not been implemented, as my life occupies more time than I would like right now. Burgundavia 02:16, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

I just thought there was a process to joining but I guess not, thanks.--Captain433180 03:10, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"add IATA code"

If adding only single code, I'd go for the ICAO one – it's going to obsolete IATA anyhow. Meanwhile, I suggest adding both. BACbKA 20:24, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sounds good to me Burgundavia 20:26, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Something to note Canada is officially ICAO; IATA is useless here. Doing both can be considered redundant (ie. YWG/CYWG YAV/CYAV YBR/CYBR YXH/CYXH). There is only one Airport (to my knowledge) that is "Canadian controlled" that does not have a 'C' prefix. Piney/Piney Pinecreek Border MB (48Y), it is half on the Canadian side and half on the American side. --Captain433180 20:43, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that statement. While it could be true in Canada, it may not be true in the rest of the world. I just looked at the Air France website and they show the IATA code from Toronto no ICAO code. I suspect that the rest of the world will continue to use the IATA codes for quite a while. So, those codes for Canadian airports may still be in active use. Vegaswikian 17:51, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Archive of Deleted Material

This is going to be deleted as per VfD; I'm copying all the relevant information here in hopes that the participants here will know what to do with it. It wasn't very complete, anyhow. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:29, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Airports that have commerical service or are among the 100 busiest

Edwards Air Force Base

Hi all, I've been working on the Edwards Air Force Base article with the goal of it eventually becoming a FAC. Its almost there now so I'm getting ready to submit it to peer review. Before I do that, I thought I'd solicit the input of the aircraft and airport wikiprojects, as these both probably have a vested interest in the shape of this article. I'd appreciate any help with the article proper, but if you don't have time and notice something missing, I've created a todo list on the talk page as well. Thanks, -Lommer | ^talk 18:37, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
