These are nice and I just wanted to add a "thanks!"

I often want to take a look at a current sectional to see what I may be
"in for", on a particular flight. I may do this weeks or months before
I actually make the flight. I will purchase new charts, when
necessary, before a flight, but it's nice having a resource where you
don't have to purchase a trip-tik just to do some pre-preflight
planning!

I have just added "aviationtoolbox.org" to "My Favorites"!

Any other cool sites that you guys recommend?


Kyler has several tools inside the website that merge sectionals, zoom
sectionals, link multiple sectionals into a strip for your flightplan.
Might need to Google for the links, I never saved them all or learned
all the necessary commands... Its done through secure HTTP though...

He's also built his own moving map that uses those sectionals, I don't
think its available yet for public consumption though...

Oziexplorer allows you to import the GeoTiff's, never played with that
either... http://www.oziexplorer.com
