Missing airports #80

Hi and merry Christmas! Decided to have a look at some missing airports in the last months, here is a list of the ones I found:

Tried to verify they're all airports and not railways or anything.

Hi! Sorry for the delay. Added these with 25da4924dd11997cbec3177d94cf83be4e24b708, apart from these:

RFK seems to be 5MS1 now, airnav.com redirects from KRFK to 5MS1 and I can't find any other solid reference to RFK. 5MS1 is already in the database.

JCU is a heliport, it was decided earlier that if we start adding heliports, we add all or most of them, not just a couple.

Berlin Schonefeld is now merged with Brandenburg: On 25 October 2020 the Schönefeld name and IATA code ceased to exist,[1][2] marking its closure as an independent airport, with large parts of its infrastructure being incorporated into the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport (IATA: BER, ICAO: EDDB)

LWI doesn't seem to exist. It's unheard of for an airport to have an IATA code but not an ICAO code, and the coordinates I found on two websites either point to a building in Hong Kong, or a village in the jungle. Either way, this database is keyed by ICAO codes so until we find more reliable info about this, I can't add it.

Thanks!
