Hm, appears to be missing a lot of smaller airports in the USA. My home airport (E45) in particular. I'm guessing it's only using airports that have commercial air carrier service of some sort.

They're using OurAirports data, filtered to exclude all but "large" and "medium" airports. Anything smaller than that includes all sorts of cruft like African bush landing strips, heliports, etc.

I think there is about 10,000 airports in the US, so I bet it is missing quite a few.
