[edit] New Updates

I recently updated the airport page extensively, conforming more to the Wikipedia standards. I also deleted a couple things that were originally there that seemed kind of unnecessary. I am interested in your opinions on the new format and content of the article, what you do and don't like about it, and what can be added or changed. -Jondude11 04:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Crown Affair Update

I have found a website that lists all movies filmed in Westchester County here. It states that while The Thomas Crown Affair was filmed in Westchester, in Sleepy Hollow, it does not list the airport as a filming location. It does however list the airport as a filming location for Meet the Parents, The Best Man, and Random Hearts.Jondude11 04:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IATA Debate

I'm an operations manager at Westchester Airport. I can tell you for a fact that the IATA code of HPN is simply a random three letters people have been trying to find meaning for as long as I've been here. It doesn't actually stand for anything. Figment26 09:14, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

truly? I, as a local, have always assumed it came from the airport's alternative name of White Plains airport - wHitePlaiNs -- seemed logical enough on this end. Travellingcari (talk)

[edit] January 2008

Currently working on a cleanup, new citations. Will have it live in the next hour or so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travellingcari (talk • contribs) 04:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

WP:NOT WP:NPOV Small airport, no major airline service. Who's heard of it? 68.193.85.33 (talk) 02:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popular Culture

I don't disagree with the recent tagging, however I'm not sure how to address it. Should we rename it filming locations? That's the bulk of the information. I don't think it necessarily fits in any other section so a rename could work. Question is, I suppose -- is it encyclopedic content? I don't have a particular opinion on that.

Pop culture is not necessarily trivia. Reformatting the entries in a paragraph form would help. It'd no longer look like a trivia list. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
