The "Create account" option links to http://openflights.org/html/signup.html, which gives a 404 error.

I'm now registered for OpenFlights.org. I haven't yet imported my FM data--I'd like to know if progress was ever made on the suggestion earlier for the FM import feature to be expanded to work more automatically for FM Premium members (which I am).
As one who just made the data dump from FM to OF... its not that bad (as a free loader )

Just follow the instructions, and if you have some data that does not fit (like two of my airports did not show up - PDT & TYE) just do a google of them to find their lat/long (wikipedia works great) and elevation... [probably an issue with your obscure Northern Canadian flight...]

I also think the google earth overlay is pretty cool (although the lines are not Great Circles )
