Yes, I digitized at a coarse scale, so there is some error which puts 
these points into the ocean. Add the airports.shp layer and you will see 
the nearby point it is intended to represent.

This is a very crude layer- the attributes are minimal, and I only put 
in a few of the airports. Also, I thought I was creating a layer with 
WGS84 projection, but somehow it came out with Alaska Albers, the 
project default projection. However, I am hoping those who want to use 
such layers will edit them to suit their needs. I just did a quick check 
on the GPS editing capability - I can create a new, more accurate 
waypoint and delete the old one, but not move the existing waypoint. 
Also QGIS v.0.11 crashed when I tried to perform this edit, but I was 
able to do it in QGIS v.0.10
