International status edit
To EncMstr and other editors — I recently added that Rogue Valley International Medford Airport was an international airport per its name, however, after contacting the airport authorities, I received the following message: The Medford Airport no longer has customs available at this time. When the economy declined in 2001, the demand for international flights to MFR dropped, and it became cost prohibitive to retain a customs officer. The Airport has retained International status against the day that it would once again be viable to have international flights.
According to the airport, it has retained International status, but does not have customs or immigration capabilities. So, we have two options:
Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport (IATA: MFR, ICAO: KMFR, FAA LID: MFR) is an international airport
...Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport (IATA: MFR, ICAO: KMFR, FAA LID: MFR) is a public use airport
...
Which option should we use, according to the response I got from the airport? I guess it really depends if we can find a reliable source, but I want your opinion. For now, I removed international status and replaced it with public use airport until we can have a discussion. Thank you. CookieMonster755 📞 ✉ ✓ 20:11, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I like the way the airport replied which leads to wording like:
- Rogue Valley Airport (abc, def) is a public use airport. It was an international airport from 19xx to 2001, but it retains international in its name for the day when it regains international operations.
- This is probably the easiest to source. Is there a need to force the wording into one of the two choices you present? —EncMstr (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

No, I guess not. I like your wording, and agree with you. Please add it in when we can find a source. Thanks! CookieMonster755 📞 ✉ ✓ 02:06, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Other Facilities for possible mention edit
Do you think the article should mention the KC- 97 Fuel Tanker, the Oval Office Replica, the Conference Rooms, or the Observation Deck in the Facilities section? [1]https://jacksoncountyor.org/airport/Amenities/KC-97-Fuel-Tanker DaKine (talk) 00:39, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
