Thanks Jo, that brought a smile!
The crux of the matter is of course that I can NOT fly into it, it being
so private as to be almost secretive. In fact I am wondering more and
more why these guys so vehemently refuse to give this airstrip a name,
it really feels like something is being hushed up. Or then perhaps they
wish to abide by the rules very strictly, kind of "Befehl ist Befehl" :)
Not the kind of atmosphere I'll choose for a destination. And no, I'll
not bother to further improve our database in that area.
That I figured in WeeklyOSM is nice but perhaps my next appearance could
be more positive ;)
Smiling regards,
KA

Karel, you are going to have to fly over to that airstrip and put up a
large sign next to it . Photograph it and hope it catches on among the
local population... (That's how I read Frederik Ramms comment)
I didn't look at the changeset. We have a description tag, if it's a
description and not a name. Of course if it's only in English, maybe
description:en?
Anyway, you made it into WeeklyOSM.

Did you contact the owner of the airfield to find out how they name it
? Did you find a sign along the street pointing to the airfield with a
name ? Is there a name sign at the entrance ? Is there an official
document from a government which mentions a name ?
If all of those questions return false, i.e. no name, then the
airfield has no name. Maybe there are a few other places where we can
look for the item of items, but making them up from ones armchair is
certainly not one of them.
No everybody gives their house, private tennis court, driveway or
airfield a name. So noname=yes might be the only thing we can do. We
should not make up names as "Airfield of Family Anderson", "Airfield
near road N111" or whatever.
