Hi all, and apologies if this is somewhere in the thread...
I had kept a spreadsheet for years with my flight record and recently have had a binge loading it into the tracker.
My question - I would like to record flights in/out of an airport that no longer exists, specifically the Avon STOLPort (WHR & presumably KWHR) in Colorado.
I note the "Add new airport" button, and was in process of adding WHR (I have the lat/long/altitude details) but I also noted the "are you sure you want to do this" dialogue boxes seemed discouraging.
Are there any rules / limitations in adding new airports?
If you are interested in the history, check this page Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields: Colorado: Northeastern Denver area
Coming into WHR was an experience. We buzzed the Vail back bowls, looped round Beaver Creek and dropped into the valley on a brilliant sunny day.
It was replaced mid 90's by Eagle Vail (EGE) to handle jets on direct flights from across US, where Avon was only suitable for the DHC-7 from Denver.
