I assume you're working on UK airfields :-)

If you're looking to edit logical taxiways (AFCAD-like), Bernie has already
mentioned his editor, and I'm working on something similar, but his is far
more advanced at the moment.

If you're looking to edit X-Plane data type taxiways as specified in the
airports file there's nothing yet (unless David M has been busy hacking
away at his Java app in stealth mode!).  At the moment my effort is just a
viewer and pre-alpha logical editor (AFCAD-like):

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p0p1-preAlpha-src.tar.gz

(Needs wxGTK-2.4.x-dev to complile).

However, if that's what you want to do (edit and create the raw x-plane
type taxiways) then I'll have a hack at it - I reckon about 4 - 6 weeks to
get something usable by the keen.  It should be quite easy to overlay OS
grid lines as well to help you line up.

Cheers - Dave
