Airliners.net had it wrong as Miami - Opa Locka at least 2114 times - but now it's correct

Opa-locka Executive Airport, Florida


UPDATE 7/2/15: on 4/12/14 Mr. Aad van der Voet, Head Database Editor at Airliners.net, sent me a nice e-mail announcing that they have fixed their database of Opa-locka photos. Indeed, they have fixed the airport's name under the photos that were taken at the airport but not on their search engine listing of airports. And I don't see either Homestead airport listed either.

------------------------------------------------------------
(original description): This stupidity continues to exist despite my sending them at least two e-mails of correction over the years to their database editors. However, they know better than me and refuse to change it so it's wrong on 2114 photos on their website and who knows how many times in their forums.

Additionally, Airliners.net calls Homestead Air Reserve Base "Homestead - Dade County-Homestead Regional" instead of the correct name. That name was correct only for a few years until the U. S. Government declined several years ago to let Dade County take over the base due to a crooked no-bid deal to turn part of the base into a cargo airport. And Airliners.net calls Homestead General Airport "Homestead Municipal Airport", a term I have never heard used for that airport.
