"One can say anything about Lublin airport, but they sure do consider IATA codes are serious business. The tone was set right from the parking lot entrance."<p>The reason Lublin's IATA code is so prominently exposed is because the word "luz" in Polish means - among others - the state of being relaxed, chilled out. Just a bit of marketing on the city's part.
Ok, I'll ask the obvious. Why is OpenBSD trying to maintain a list of IATA airport codes?<p>(And before you ask why not, try to think of some answers yourself first. I can come up with a few drawbacks, though I'm nowhere close to a subject expert.)

Here’s a copy of the current version of the file itself <a href="https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/share/misc/airport" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/share/misc/airpor...</a>
Here is the complete file if you are curious: <a href="https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/share/misc/airport" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/share/misc/airpor...</a><p>There are ~2,000 entries vs ~11,000 assigned IATA airport codes
I visited 4 airports that aren't in the list. Do you think I can add them to the list? Never committed before to OpenBSD so I do not know if I compute as a "OpenBSD developers" in "New airports can only be added by OpenBSD developers who have visited an airport and thereby have verified its existence."
I thought this was going to be about <a href="https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#43" rel="nofollow">https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#43</a> where the author claims that Richard Stallman made a scene and had to be removed from a plane from Washington DC to New Orleans.<p>It sounds like a severe enough accusation that there should be some corroborating evidence.
