According to *Webster's__School__Dictionary* (1980 by
Merriam and Company) AIRDROME is aka AIRPORT.
Maybe *aerodrome* was originally *ÆRODROME* which is too
complicated for us moderns and it got watered down to
AIRDROME.
But I understand there is a new definition to AIRDROME
which Oxford is considering for addition to the dictionary:
Transit for Air-Heads!
Stranger things have happened.

thought it might mean resurrecting the 87-Ardmore. I AM
certainly for that ---- let's get started and vote One
