Another small question might be for ourairports names like this one: " Mario's Flying Pizza Airport " (sic!)
should this become ... a) Marios Flying Pizza Airport b) Mario s Flying Pizza Airport c) Mario Flying Pizza Airport (This is serious, this is "2TA4" and it is in FlightGears apt.dat.) Origin in apt.dat is a) in apt.dat, but my script eats it up. So better no change for this case ?
