Has any StampoRama member had any dealings with a cover seller called Aerodaciouis?

I sent an email several months ago, but there was no response. He offers an airport dedication for an airport in my home town, Silver City, New Mexico, that I never heard of. The web site seems to be "active" but lack of response indicates that no one is taking are of it.

This is the cover:

Now here's a curious angle: In 1939, Ernie Pyle's regular newspaper column was about a man named Whitehill in Silver City. Mr. Whitehill lived in a cave at the edge of the mesa where there was an airport, called the Turner Airport, where my father, the founder of the American Kiteflier's Association, flew his kites; Mr. Turner no longer used the airport. But Pyle's column indicates that the airport hadn't yet been built, yet the Whitehill Airport dedication cover is dated nine years earlier. Puzzling!

I remember Mr. Whitehill and his cave. I visited him with my parents and paternal grandparents in 1949, the same year that we moved to New Mexico from New York State. Mr. Whitehill had dug the cave himself, and furnished it with handmade furniture and curios he had collected on travels around the world. There was even a cave used as a barn for one or two cows. The cave was cool and comfortable; I'd trade my apartment in Vancouver in a second to be able to live in that cave, which would be impossible since has long since collapsed.
