Categorization
It seems inappropriate that several general aviation airfields are listed as "Municipal" when they are privately owned, e.g. 1F7, F69, & 58F. (In fact, Plano and Carrollton officials have been accused of actively conspiring to close F69 permanently, but I digress.) I propose (and volunteer) to add a "Private & Other" category, along with a "Defunct" category for fields like GSW; however, I'd like to open the topic for discussion first.

- Categories added. Please note that I have removed North Texas Regional (GYI) because it falls outside the Metropolitan Statistical Area; likewise, I have added Majors (GVT) [Greenville] and Mineral Wells (MWI) because they fall within the area. Also, please read the embedded notes within the template before adding or removing airfields. Carguychris (talk) 02:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Alphabetical order
I was in debate about whether to list Ralph M. Hall/Rockwall under "Hall" or "Rockwall." After some thought, I think it is more logical to list in alphabetical order by municipality, rather than by actual name; this makes it more intuitive to readers who are more likely to know an airport by location rather than by its formal name. Here are the rules I propose to follow:
- Airports should be listed in alphabetical order by municipality name first, airport name second (if there is more than airport per municipality). Examples: Fort Worth Alliance comes before Fort Worth Meacham; Majors is under "G" for Greenville rather than "M" for Majors; Ralph M. Hall/Rockwall is under "R" for Rockwall rather than "H" for Hall.
- If there is more than one municipality per airport (i.e. joint ownership), alphabetize by the municipality that comes first in the alphabet. Example: Mid-Way is listed under "M" for Midlothian and not "W" for Waxahachie.
