I have 2 airports I'm interested in using but one doesn't list flight category even though it has a METAR. The other one looks to be correct and shows FC in Foreflight but is showing White or maybe its a very light Gray, on the LED. These are KO88 and KO69 respectively. Your thoughts are appreciated before I drill holes in the board for airports that will never display correctly.

Captain Ron,

Here's the output from the FAA for K088 using this query;

 https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&stationString=KO88&hoursBeforeNow=10 

So the FAA is not providing any data for this location. - Mark
