CAVEAT FIRST: Moderators, please NEVER add these placemarks to the community BBS layer 
This is probably the craziest set of placemarks I've ever generated.
This file contains more than 10,000 (
10,041, to be precise) airports, found in the
Global Airport Database and in the
DAFIF site database.
The airports are organized by country/region and are colorized according to their type. Only the ICAO codes are shown as labels, for brevity, but more information is available when clicking on the icons.
The difference between this and a
previous ICAO list is, that this database doesn't
primarily focus on ICAO codes, it is organized in country/region folders and it contains almost twice as many airports, some of which are a lot more precisely located, due to the different data sources used.
2ND CAVEAT:Moving the focus over the United States might explode your computer 
! There are simply too many airports, so you need quite a capable machine!
Moderators: All that said, if you feel this is too much to take, or that it is a duplicate of
this post (which I don't think it is), feel free to delete it, it was fun for me creating and watching it!
Enjoy!
