This was the idea even on the previous incarnation of the board when it was called "FlyerTalk Airports."
If that were really the case, it would duplicate the Travel and Dining Forums. For example, if you wanted to post about San Francisco, would you post in the San Francisco Forum under Travel and Dining or in the San Francisco forum under Local Talk? I was always under the impression that the airport forums were really just about that - issues dealing with the airports themselves.
