While I don't count airports for states, I do count them for countries. I'm physically in that country, people there speak the language, I can drink a local beer and have a local meal, I probably even have a passport stamp from them.

Just my personal preference.

Mostly for work. My employer contracts with various foreign airlines and cargo companies. We also do work for the State Department and US Millitary as well as the RAF. As I mentioned, I know I missed several, but my globe is out of date (think USSR) and many passport stamps are unreadable.

Romania
Bulgaria
Croatia
Serbia
Hungary
Slovakia
Czech Republic
Austria
Switzerland

Will add Norway, the Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland later this year.
