Version 1.1 (13/02/2008)
Corrections -
Country - Added 4 missing airports.
Cities - Added 2 missing airports. Removed 1 inappropriate airport.
Armed Forces - Added 5 missing airports.
Apologies for the slightly O/T request.
I'm hoping you gents might be able to assist.
I'm looking for a definitive list of ICAOs for military 'airports'
that exist as both -
- FSX default airports, (not supplementary addon sceneries).
- Currently operational IRL.
i.e.
The list FSX displays in the FSX Go To Airports dialog
when filtered on 'United Kingdom',
with no addon sceneries enabled.
I'm looking to correctly categorise any active military airports in that default list.
Initially for the UK, then the US, and eventually for all other countries.
Overview -
I created a set of 15 free-flight 'postcard' rewards for FSX UK 'airports'.
Rewards are granted for landing at every MS FSX default airport in each category.
They are based on ICAOs, so will work with any default replacement addon sceneries.
All your previous airport landings in FSX will already be credited,
including any landings from your previous FS version, (if you've imported your logbook).
So you won't need to fly them all again.
Current file is available from - FSX - Rewards - Visit Series - Country
USA & Australian versions now available.
Example rewards, (click for larger image).
I've not aquired them all myself yet.
Military Aspect -
These include 4 military rewards -
Country - United Kingdom - Military - Air Force
Country - United Kingdom - Military - Army
Country - United Kingdom - Military - Navy
The terms 'Air Force', 'Army', 'Navy', are generic,
and intended to be suitable for use worldwide.
Plus a grouped criteria reward -
Country - United Kingdom - Military
for having landed at all of the above.
Problem -
The military 'airports' reward criteria lists
were derived solely from their FSX default naming.
On reviewing the data,
I realised EGXP - Scampton and various others were missing.
Before re-releasing,
I'd like to ensure all military 'airports' are correctly included.
Question -
Could someone please have a look at the 3 lists below,
and reply with ICAOs for anything that's missing,
(FSX default 'airports' only please, i.e. no supplementary addon sceneries).

There's no MIL in this one. Will create a supplementary later.
Any guidance for military 'airports' again would be much appreciated.
Credit for assistance will be included.
Many thanks
