Given that aeronautical features and road vehicle features have
different namespace, tag it as runway and raceway? This is a
surprisingly common arrangement in the ground truth and plays a
prominent role in the original, US, AU (and very probably, all)
versions of Top Gear.
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. :-)
