> + // only airports with four-letter codes can have metar stations
but even of those not all have. I wonder if we shouldn't explicitly
disable metar requests in the default scenery for all four-letter
airports that don't have metar. That's where most people fly and we
shouldn't flood noaa.gov with requests for KHAF etc. (and risk that
they shut down their service).
(OTOH, if we ask often enough, maybe KHAF will be donated its own
Metar station, and will forever be grateful for our support. :-)
Disadvantage: we'd have to track these airports and edit the blacklist
accordingly. I'd volunteer.
