What I read among all the trash in this posting is that Mike was able to
find dope on BDL.   When I bring up the map, BDL isn't there.  In fact there
are no airports at all marked in Alabama nor New Mexico nor eight other big
states (nor is my home International Airport, CMH),   Mike also seems to
have got information on a lot of other airports that are not on the map when
I call it up.

Thanks for the reference, Mike, but where do you get the dope on BDL, and
what is all that =20 and so on trash mixed in with your text?
