It's an interesting idea, but not worth the effort IMO until/unless 
airspace_looks_usable is used to actually find the path for the 
airplane, rather than just calculate whether one exists.  This should be 
a separate project.
On a separate note, I just noticed that airspace_looks_usable is neither 
declared static nor is it properly prototyped at the top of the file. 
I'll fix this as well.
