 * THIS IS AN ARCHIVE OF Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports

I also think that we should add a link to the airport from the city/cities that the said airport is actually located in. For instance, DFW Airport is partially in Euless, Irving, and Grapevine. WhisperToMe 03:34, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Airport Infobox?
The airport infoboxes are sufficiently "busy" that they would benefit from being templates. Was any more done on this? Warning: I only follow the Heathrow article - so sorry if it is implemented elsewhere and I missed it! Pcb21| Pete 15:14, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Project Participation
How does one become an "official" participant. I feel that my knowledge in the field of aviation can be an asset. I have already made a noticable contribution to Canadian airports. --Captain433180 20:43, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * You join by adding your name to the project page. No, the infobox has not been implemented, as my life occupies more time than I would like right now. Burgundavia 02:16, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)


 * I just thought there was a process to joining but I guess not, thanks.--Captain433180 03:10, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"add IATA code"
If adding only single code, I'd go for the ICAO one – it's going to obsolete IATA anyhow. Meanwhile, I suggest adding both. BACbKA 20:24, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me Burgundavia 20:26, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Something to note Canada is officially ICAO; IATA is useless here. Doing both can be considered redundant (ie. YWG/CYWG YAV/CYAV YBR/CYBR YXH/CYXH). There is only one Airport (to my knowledge) that is "Canadian controlled" that does not have a 'C' prefix. Piney/Piney Pinecreek Border MB (48Y), it is half on the Canadian side and half on the American side. --Captain433180 20:43, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about that statement. While it could be true in Canada, it may not be true in the rest of the world.  I just looked at the Air France website and they show the IATA code from Toronto no ICAO code.  I suspect that the rest of the world will continue to use the IATA codes for quite a while.  So, those codes for Canadian airports may still be in active use.  Vegaswikian 17:51, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Archive of Deleted Material
This is going to be deleted as per VfD; I'm copying all the relevant information here in hopes that the participants here will know what to do with it. It wasn't very complete, anyhow. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:29, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Edwards Air Force Base
Hi all, I've been working on the Edwards Air Force Base article with the goal of it eventually becoming a FAC. Its almost there now so I'm getting ready to submit it to peer review. Before I do that, I thought I'd solicit the input of the aircraft and airport wikiprojects, as these both probably have a vested interest in the shape of this article. I'd appreciate any help with the article proper, but if you don't have time and notice something missing, I've created a todo list on the talk page as well. Thanks, -Lommer | talk 18:37, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
