SkyDemon displays Fearn airfield to the north-east of Inverness (INS 014T 13nm). This airstrip was a part of an old WW2 airfield runway but has not existed for many years. A new grass strip (Easter) has been built nearby, on the edge of the old WW2 airfield, to replace it. Easter is correctly displayed by SkyDemon.
I appreciate that SkyDemon receives its mapping data from a 3rd party but is it possible to pass this information on so that they can remove Fearn from their database? The latest CAA half-mil chart for Scotland correctly shows Fearn as a "DISUSED or ABANDONED aerodrome" and Easter as an "AERODROME - Civil, limited or no facilities".
With the close proximity of the old Fearn WW2 airfield to the new Easter airfield this is another reason to have SkyDemon display disused airfields - as well as display good visual reference points they could avoid pilots from getting confused.
Thanks for you excellent software - it just keeps getting better and better
