For the World Scenery build: Yes ....  as long as 'genapts' doesn't
randomly crash at some airfield.
Well, in theory we could call 'genapts' once for every individual
airfield and feed the parameters on every single call, but this would
make things even more difficult if you're just about building a 1x2
degree tile, because this would require you to investigate beforehand
which airfields are included in this area.

Therefore I still think that having a lookup feature in 'genapts' which
is sending each individual airfield's position and gets the
corresponding parameters returned from whichever backend (probably via
OGR) is the way to go in the long run.

We'd just need someone who'd be willing to do the maintenance work on
the backend side (this work has to be done anyway, no matter which
solution you prefer).

Cheers,
