[talk-au] farm airstrips

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

the DWG was contacted by the owner of some farmland about an 
aerodrome=airport that was mapped on their property and which they would 
like to have removed since it was not a published airstrip and while 
they occasionally used it for take-offs and landings they don't want ir 
promoted.

My standard response in cases like this would be "I can mark it 
access=private but if something is clearly there, I cannot remove it."

I have checked with aerial imagery though and there is absolutely 
nothing on the aerial imagery that would set this "airstrip" apart from 
the neighbouring grassland. Yes it looks like I could land a plane 
there, but I could also land a plane the next field over, or a little 
bit further east or west - it all looks the same. I assume that there 
might be a clue locally like a windsock or so, but other than that, 
nothing.

I'd therefore be tempted to delete the airstrip from OSM. Opinions about 
that? Here's the area:

Bye
