Does anyone know where I can find an airport database that will give
me pure, raw data? I am looking for something that will give me
identifier, lat, lon, elevation, etc, but I'm looking for the whole
enchilada- for every U.S. airport, in a table (that I can put in my
own database and query). Not like the single airport info that you
get from sites like AirNav.
Oh, and I want it for free, too. :)
I figured the FAA.gov site might have this but I came up empty.
Thanks for any help.

You might contact Airnav and see where they got their initial data -
they've probably grown from the original data set.
Their's is a free site, so they might be willing to share their
original sources gratis.

Good luck!

John:
Try these:
http://www.gcr1.com/5010WEB/default.htm
http://www.airnav.com/airport
Both site use the data gathered on FAA Form 5010 which is regularly sent by
the FAA to all airport managers (private as well as public) to collect
information about the airport.
