Hi Robert,

I haven't tried the solution below, but I believe it will work fine.

Another approach is to download the current list of all public and private
airports in the USA from the site in the link below. Open the file in
SeeYou or StrePla and you can then export a data file based on distance from
the home airport. Or you can select a group of waypoints using the mouse.
The export process for SeeYou is explained and shown in my SeeYou Training
videos.

I like using SeeYou because I can view the waypoints on a map and edit them,
create tasks, etc. StrePla can also do all this.

Best Regards,
