I chalk this up to some of the wacky things that we can do in the
desert around here.  The current owner bought the place from Tex
Earnhardt.  Tex on a bull during is auto commercials was just another
interesting sight when I moved here.  I think you captured the idea.
I am guessing that the new owner picked up his planes at the bone yard
here https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/32.5122/-111.3239.
Although some of those planes look like they are in restored
condition.

We are the only private motorsports club that incorporates an FAA
approved private airport, luxury trackside casitas, residential lots
for sale, observation tower and private member garages with the finest
racing and touring road course anywhere in the country.[1]

With membership fees ranging from $7,000 to $120,000, plus annual
fees of $3,000 to $12,000, this is a country club for well-heeled
motorsports enthusiasts.[2]

Auto magnate Tex Earnhardt, whose TV commercials gained him fame by
spouting the catchphrase That ain't no bull, turns 80 on
Thursday.[3]

The Transportation Research Center is an automotive proving ground in 
Central Ohio, used by the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration, Honda, and others. [1] It's currently tagged as a 
landuse=industrial area [2] with lots of highway=raceways traversing it. 
There's also an aeroway=aerodrome POI imported from GNIS. [3] TRC does 
have an FAA code [4], but I can't find any indication that it's actually 
used as an airfield.


TRC would make for a great emergency landing site -- could that be why 
it's in the FAA's database as an operational private airport? I could 
give it some ad-hoc tag like aeroway:emergency=aerodrome, but in that 
case any sufficiently straight stretch of an Interstate might qualify.


I just think it would be misleading for TRC to come up in Nominatim 
searches for airports. Then again, such a search would turn up so many 
cornfields doubling as private airstrips (with improbable names like 
Nulltown Wingnuts and Hallelujah) that maybe it wouldn't matter. :-)

Could you just create an overlapping area where the airstrip is and tag it 
appropriately?
