Was just looking at airport I34 (Greensburg IN) it appears to be on the edge of the chart where it's stitched but I noticed on VFRMAP.COM, RunwayFinder.com and WingX at least (Not on sky vector) when you zoom in it goes from the symbol for an airport <8069 to a symbol for an airport >8069. What's going on?

Also, What's with the 8069 number? Seems Random.
 
The symbol for airports with a runway between 1500' and 8069' only applies on the sectional and perhaps the WAC. I think you're viewing the Cincinnati TAC which shows all airports with the other symbol (the one on the sectional that refers to >8069').

That's what it is, when you zoom in, it swaps from sectional to a scaled version of the Cincinatti TAC stitched in with the sectional.

Is it moving from the Sectional to the Terminal Area Chart?

Somewhat, that 's the diameter in feet of the airport symbol to scale.

Yep that's what it was doing it was just on the edge of the sectional and I didn' t notice the right half of the screen went from Sectional to TAC on the most zoomed in level.
