+RedDerek Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I have been thinking of this as a locationless cache for some time, but found that the locationless caches were stopped on Geocaching. I'll bring this up here. I'd like to start a category for ultralight aircrafts. This would be a waymark category that locates ultralight airfields. It can be across the USA or even in other countries. Eventually, with all the locations, someone could use this topic to travel cross country using only an ultralight and then hopping from one airfield to another. Furthermore, any details on the airfield would be useful as well. A good starter field would be one located along a drive I make frequenty that is just north of Sacramento - Freedom Field (www.freedomfield.com), located at N 38.752345, W 121.463846. Link to comment
+ChapterhouseInc Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 check out the airport category first (search for it). this is a pretty inclusive category (they accept helipads as well). maybe you can get them to add a variable for this idea. Link to comment
ggmorton Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I think the ultralight airfields you mention would definitely fit under the Airports category. I would be willing to ask my category members what they think and add an appropriate variable (if I can figure out how to do that). Link to comment
+RedDerek Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Please look into adding the ultralight airport to the general airport category. Link to comment
ggmorton Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Please look into adding the ultralight airport to the general airport category. I not sure what you mean by the above statement. The airports category doesn't exclude any airports. If you think it does exclude it, send me the specifics of your airport and I'll let you know for sure. Link to comment

If you think it does exclude it, send me the specifics of your airport and I'll let you know for sure. i think they are trying to say that they would like you (the airport category) to add a variable so that they might be differentiated from the other airports--through the use of the mythical 'variable search'?....maybe even mention them in the category description....

+robert Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 when clicking [Record Waymark] in the airports category, ultralights are (now?) available in the drop-down. Link to comment
ggmorton Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 when clicking [Record Waymark] in the airports category, ultralights are (now?) available in the drop-down. Yeah, I added the type as a variable when I figured it out. Even though, I can't seem to find a way to search by variable. So it is a moot point. Link to comment
+BruceS Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Even though, I can't seem to find a way to search by variable. So it is a moot point. Hopefully this is only a temporary moot point. Hopefully this capability will be added at some point. Edited September 20, 2006 by BruceS Link to comment
+robert Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Searching, sorting, and/or filtering by variable is a good thing Link to comment
+ChapterhouseInc Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 yes, and hopefully it will be worked in as a category management (sorting) function...... Link to comment
