Description of the issue:
ICAO 5NY3 was assigned to Keech Airport in 2008, then deleted by FAA in 2017 (see 5NY3 change history @ OurAirports). The FAA then reassigned 5NY3 to Mount St. Mary’s Hospital, a heliport that’s not in MSFS 2020 (it didn’t exist) or 2024. Attempts to create the heliport fail since 5NY3 is listed as in use, requiring using a fictitious ID.
