FTPd both of these over to Bill, I can't make any claims on
the accuracy of any of the data, except that the airport
runways I'm familiar with map exactly where they should.
The Worldpoints file is about 13,000 from one of the GPS
lists, and those will contain a mixture of both airports and
city 'centroids', so there will be some duplicates. Let the
user slice and dice these how they see fit.
The Runways file is from DOT and are represented by lines
between runway 'end' points. The width is not represented
in the map object but is provided in the data if anyone
wants to get creative and create the rectangle that would
set the runway to scale. Some of these airports no longer
exist.
This should make a nice little 'stocking stuffer' for the
holidays.... I forgot to mail cards!
