Lets get to the bottom of this.
I constantly hear people refer to Airports as being class B,C or D
Airports. Any of you who have thorough knowledge and understanding of
Airports will know that there are only two kinds of Airports in all of
our National Airspace System (NAS). There is Towered and Non-Towered
Airports. We have Class A,B,C,D,E and G Airspace. The Airspace overlays
the Airports. Now show me where in the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) or an FAA Approved government publication that mentions a class
B,C,D Airport. You will not find it...

Take the time and choose your words carefully.

When you are taxiing at Atlanta Hartsfield you are in class B airspace.
FAA definitions aside, whats wrong with calling it a Class B airport?

In fact, the overlying airspace conveys much more information about the
airport than whether it is towered or not.

Atlanta Hartsfield and Muncie, Indiana are both towered airports, but
they are hardly the same thing.
