There are a couple of utilities that will create 'exclude polygons' to get rid of the default objects:
FlattEx will create 'exclude' lines (text) that you then paste into the scenery.cfg file. The advantage-will also create 'flatten' lines to level terrain if you need to. Disadvantage-you have to edit the scenery.cfg file and errors can cause problems. (Always back up any file before editing.)

yes those programs work great!! although if you want to you can do it yourself by opening the scenery.cfg file, going to the region where the airport is, and enter the following:
Exclude=N38*47.2864',W74*48.4864',N38*43.2222',W74*52.0000',all
the first number is the top left latitude, then the top right longitude, then the lower right latitude, and then the lower left longitude. the "all" is to exclude everything, but you can also enter "objects" to remove just objects. i just made up the numbers in this but thats all you need to do is make a rectangle.
hope this helps!!
