Airport Database

Does anyone know where I can lay my hands on an airport database with name,
ID, lat/long and elevation?
I've found two from separate sources that are close, but each is missing at
least one element that I'd like to have and I don't relish the thought of
trying to merge them into one.

airnav.com has one, as does landings.com.

Are you a member of AOPA?

If not, you should!

By the way, they have have the aiport directory. They have everything you
need, every detail to the bone. You can even download airport directory to
the PDA. You can't beat that, unless you have the array of expensive
equipment in your plane.

GPX might be a bit hard to parse, but with the help of GPSBabel
( http://gpsbabel.sourceforge.net/ ), you can turn that GPX file into a
CSV (comma separated values) or other standard ascii file that you can
import into Excel or whatever you want to do with it.

Thanks guys. This looks like my best bet since I'm on a Mac. I just need a
basic CSV file to import into my Filemaker Pro logbook. I'm trying to learn
the program and a logbook with flight time, currencies, insurance and
medical info, E6B and airports seemed like a useful way. Since I'm not that
good with math, my head hurts.

Of course, UNIX contains the ideal tool for merging databases and
manipulating fields within a database: awk. And there's even an awk
executable for Windows available he

or

And you'll find a manual page for awk he
