Where to find list of ICAO airport codes?

[virtuPIC]

Currently I am setting up http://www.airspace-v.com - a general
aviation web site with weather reports and navigation information on
Google Map. However, I am still looking for a list of all (worldwide!)
ICAO airport codes to keep track of changes. Any recommendation where
to find them?

Just curious, why limit yourself to airports with ICAO codes? In the
U.S. that's probably only about 1/2 the airports.

Well, this site is a web-formatted version of DAFIF (RIP ;-)). DAFIF
has no complete list of airfields, not even of those with ICAO codes.
Less than 10,000 of them.

I already came across several incomplete lists. But thank you anyway,
looks nice.

Well, I need some kind of index. Handling them by 'name,state,country'
is a bit tedious - and maybe not unique. So why not take the ICAO code?
Idea was to find a workaround for airfields without ICAO code. I didn't
expect their number so large. Thank you for the advise.

You could always download the flightgear simulator and have a look in
the files for it's database of airports - http://www.flightgear.org/

The main data file appears to be found at:
http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/data/Airports/

I found this - don't know if its any use to you. It was last updated in
2000 so probably not, but thought I'd pass it along anyway...

http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/06airfields/icao.htm

I found the link through Wikipedia. There's also an SDK for FS2004 that
will allow you to dump its airport data, but that's probably more
trouble than its worth.

Cheers,

Check it again, it has feeds from DAFIF _and_ NFD, _and_ DoD.

Don't know if this is of any help but:

Yes, if I remember correctly this was is my current list. But
incomplete.

Anyway, it's incomplete. What e.g. EDKA - Aachen Merzbrück, Germany?
It's missing. Yes, I use this one as first check.

Looks great! Seems to contain more than 20,000 airfields. Will have to
find out about file format, parse it and be happy.

Thanks to all of you!

Slipped into the wrong message when writing my last one. Sorry again!

Still, it's incomplete. I've checked Switzerland, which I happen to
know: Roughly three quarters of the airfields are missing!

I've checked Switzerland: At least for this country, the list is
complete. (Only one really "esotheric" airfield is missing, which istn't
of any real world significance.)
