The Closest Ten Airports (willymaps.github.io)

Very snappy, neat demo

Damn cool!

Wish I could zoom in more and get the airport names. but I like the interface.

Very nice especially on touchscreens. Wish I could traverse the poles.

Looks like the dataset is limited to maybe some size threshold? There are a lot of regional airports missing. Cool interface! Would be cool (but maybe computationally prohibitive) to optionally use driving distance instead of as-the-crow-flies distance.

Missing McMurdo Station, Antarctica

The criteria are interesting. When you’re hopping around New England it will show Bridgeport, CT and Taunton, MA which don’t have commercial service and they’re trying to shut down, while leaving off Martha’s Vineyard, MA and Worcester, MA which do have commercial service.

Very limited. I know there are far more airports near me than the app labels. Not sure what the limitation is.

Amazing visualization. Much harder (and useful) would be to show the 10 cheapest airports to fly to from any given spot.
