How to get incorrect airport corrected in Photos

Hi there!
I have been trying to get photo #4682529 taken out of the ORD database. Anyone familiar with O'Hare like I am will instantly recognize that this is mis-labeled. The photographer insists it is correct, but look at it closely: a body of water and mountains visible from the field at ground level --this is not Illinois!
I've flagged it and pointed the mistake out to the photographer, as I said, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

According to FA this plane was at O'Hare on November 2, not on November 3.

We got the E-mail, but database corrections are actually for the editors ([at]airliners.net). I will forward your E-mail to them.
You can also submit corrections yourself; if you open a photo, you will find a grey box on the right side underneath the photo which says "correction". Clicking that will open the info tab for that photo and you can correct and then submit. It will then end up with the editors as well, who either approve or decline the correction (if incorrect).
