Airport Map II

So I had this idea: if you plotted all the major airports in the world, how much would the result resemble a map?

I found a database of airports with country, latitude & longitude etc (www.kingwoodcable.com/gpswaypoints/index.htm) and a list of three-letter IATA airport codes (www.photius.com/wfb2001/airport_codes_alpha.html).

A bit o' the old PostScript codin' later and I had this. Here I'm showing major and minor airports and colouring them too. Because I can.
