I think CO thinks this feature is no longer necessary because of the include airports within x miles check box. The checkbox does not, however, include the nearby airports in a common results screen. I think they sould bring LON and NYC back. I also think they should add a few others that I've seen on other sites:
QHO = IAH, HOU & EFD
QDF = DFW & DAL
QLA = LA Area
RGV = Rio Grande Valley
But thats a lot of thinking for this early in the morning.
