L'aeroporto di Guidonia, intitolato alla memoria dell'aviatore Alfredo Barbieri, è un aeroporto militare situato nel comune di Guidonia Montecelio. == Storia == L'aeroporto fu realizzato tra il 1915 e il 1916, destinato ad accogliere una scuola di pilotaggio ove vennero formati i piloti destinati all'impiego durante la 1^ G.M. Dopo la fine del conflitto divenne inizialmente un deposito per i velivoli non più impiegati per scopi bellici e quindi divenne sede di una squadriglia sperimentale. Nel 1927 vi venne istituita la DSSE (R.D. 1241 del 23.6.1927).

Usage

Technologies and Data Sources

This app is based on the Google Maps API, which on the one hand provides a powerful programming interface for web-based mapping applications, and on the other hand opens access to high quality satellite imagery for places all over the world.

The backend is realized in Python with the help of the excellent Flask micro framework.

The locations of airports have been imported from the public domain data provided by the aviation enthusiasts at OurAirports.com. The app displays randomly selected airports of the categories 'large_airport','medium_airport' and 'small_airport' for which runway coordinates are available.

Furthermore, the user interface incorporates icons from Font Awesome and fonts from Google Fonts.
