What is the purpose of 6 digit codes? Apparently there are two sorts of ICAO (OACI) codes in France. Those whose format is pretty common to us: http://www.fna.asso.fr/_fichiers/france2.pdf and something that was new to me - until this morning: http://www.fna.asso.fr/_fichiers/france1.pdf These 6-digit codes are not that uncommon in France, if you google for St. Avold LF5723 then you'll actually find several hits for airfields that are nowhere else associated with any other ICAO code, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
