Would it be possible to have a section in the Airport Information for us to enter custom information? Perhaps it wouldn't be worth the effort, but it seems it could prove useful for entering (possibly trivial, but important to you) information during the planning stage. Possibly notes as to what hangar I'm supposed to go to, the name of a contact at the airport, significant unique information about that particular visit. Or maybe little things you learned the last time you went to that airport that you deemed significant, but weren't contained in the notes. Points of personal interest around the field, why one runway may be better than another, free coffee and donuts on Tuesday, etc.

Our old KLN-88 (LORAN) had this feature.

At first, I thought it was silly. But then we started using it for things like "Ask for Room # 128" when we made repeated trips to and fro. Or the name of the FBO guy. Etc. (In fact, we almost filled up its limited memory!) I miss it.

This was in the days before PDA's and stuff. So I suppose one could store notes like this on their cell phone or in the cloud. But I tend to look for pertinent information in the same place - not scattered here and there.

So it would be nice to have a customize field at the bottom of the Airport Page for text notes.
