Hi John,
Thanks for the bug report.
This is a typical FAA/IATA/ICAO ID mixing up. Currently our system can not handle this problem properly. It may take some effort to sort it out.

Hi Ken,
I'm not familiar with your Database engine, but I use input masks on my desktop DB's (AlphaFive -Dbase III).
Would setting up a 4-character "mask" (rejecting any 3-character ID) in the input field, for airport pictures uploads help with this issue. With the first character being the ICAO country Identifier??
It would require a little more homework for uploaders.
Also USA FAA ID's that are odd: like N17 or N24 may be a problem, unless one inputs a "K" in front to make it agree with the "mask".
Just an idle thought, for a possible quick fix.

Hi John,
Thanks for the input. But there're some airports which only have IATA codes, and lots of US airports only have FAA codes, enforce ICAO IDs on airport photo upload page is not a feasible way.
