Default building an aviation directory

Hello,

I have a rather good aviation related domain available and as there are a couple
of hundred visits a month to it I want to rebuild the site (the script is
available and webspace is no problem *hehe*).

the site will be an aviation only directory (mainly for airports) - the yahoo
style (yeah, just what we needed, another directory ...).

my question is:
what is the best way to build the structure? sorted by state/country? by type?

examples:
- Americas - United States - Arizona - $airport1|2|3
- Americas - United States - Arizona - Phoenix - $airport1|2|3

- Business - Flight Training - Advanced Training - $CFII1|2|3
- Business - Online Shop - $shop1|2|3

For sure you don't care where the online shop is located, but you might not be
very interested in a CFII from Florida when you live in California.

how do you search? by region or by type?
any other input?

Why limit your users to a preset format? A form containing write-in
or pull-down boxes for each field of the search (a la Landings airmans
database) would let the user decide for himself what search criteria
he wants.
