I'm running linux (just to clarify the following....)

I'm trying to get the lat & long of all installed airports.  So far I've
reduced to this:

for apt in `find Airports -name *threshold.xml` ; do basename $apt
.threshold.xml;  done

This returns a list of airport codes.

Then I can look up the lat & long in Airpots/index.txt

Does the index.txt file in the Airports directory list all of the airports
in the world?

y...@selene:~/Desktop/flight$ wc Airports/index.txt
 25715  25715 705134 Airports/index.txt

That's 25 thousand airports; I would hope that's a pretty complete list. 
Would there ever be a case where an airport in a dataset is not in
index.txt (that's not a bug)?
