The city entry for IAD is incorrect. IAD is near Dulles, Virginia not Washington. It straddles Loudoun and Fairfax counties.

See sidebar on Wlkipedia.

    "KIAD": {
        "icao": "KIAD",
        "iata": "IAD",
        "name": "Washington Dulles International Airport",
        "city": "Washington",
        "state": "Virginia",
        "country": "US",
        "elevation": 312,
        "lat": 38.94449997,
        "lon": -77.45580292,
        "tz": "America\/New_York"
    },

should be 

    "KIAD": {
        "icao": "KIAD",
        "iata": "IAD",
        "name": "Washington Dulles International Airport",
        "city": "Dulles",
        "state": "Virginia",
        "country": "US",
        "elevation": 312,
        "lat": 38.94449997,
        "lon": -77.45580292,
