I doubt wether that's really causing the problem. The AI part of the AI models 
code regularly spawns new AI models on top of each other at those airports 
for which we don't have a ground network yet. In current CVS (HEAD) there is 
an example of this at Frankfurt am Main airport (EDDF). Please have a look at 
EDDF with AIModels / traffic manager activated and see if you have similar 
problems.

There's a possibility that some of the latest changes in the FlightGear code 
are causing this, but I can't check right now, as I'm recompiling the whole 
source tree to get the latest simgear changes in.

Again, there's also a possibility that Multiplayer AIModel aircraft are 
treated differently than AI AIModel aircraft, but I'm not familiar enough 
with the multiplayer code to know that for sure.

B.t.w., I got your patch. I'm not sure I have time to review and commit this 
weekend though.

Cheers,
Durk
