I reviewed the subject airport imports in southern CA. I'm surprised that there were only 16 imports in bbox=-122,33,-115,38 given the mentioned 23000 nodes total. Must be other parts of the world that were not well-covered? They are all private facilities, and I tagged them access=private.

In my area it looks like a couple of small rural grass strips was added. The hospital helipad was initially duplicated but then re-deleted in a subsequent changeset by the same user. So it looks like there was at least SOME attempt at de-duplicating things, even if it was done after the fact.
