About the location of Wilmington Airport
Welcome to Wikipedia! I am WhisperToMe. Nice to meet you!

I read this edit in which you stated that the airport is in incorporated New Castle County. I know you meant well with the edit, but to say it's in an incorporated area would be incorrect. An unincorporated area by definition means one which is not in any local municipality. A U.S. Census Bureau map of New Castle County shows on pages 12 and 16, or 13 and 17 of 45 of the PDF document, that the airport is not in any incorporated area (in other words, not in a municipality). If you look at the colors, each color is either a municipality (labeled in regular text) or a census-designated place (labeled in italic text, a CDP is usually unincorporated but it is drawn by the Census Bureau to pull specific census data). The area in white is unincorporated and not in a CDP. The airport is entirely in an area colored white.

By the way, using the city name alone of a postal address is misleading in trying to deterimine the location of a place. I quote from the City of Houston's Kingwood, Texas annexation guide of 1996: "No. The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes and mailing addresses in order to maximize the efficiency of their system, not to recognize jurisdictional boundaries." (my emphasis added)
