Nice idea. I can see how this might be interesting for aviation enthusiasts.

I wonder how you implemented the map access. After hopping to the second 
airport i am receiving status 429 from tile.openstreetmap.org.
I have not browsed around the OSM map before, so I wonder how many 
requests you are doing to trigger here a policy block on the tile server 
that fast.


Also on naming, you might want to think of a different name.
The one you have currently chosen is conflicting with OSM trademark. 
Having your own name would give more freedom on what you do with the 
page and what data sources to use.

You can read further here:

Especially the section about "You may not" and the example "OpenThingMap".
