Finding nearest airport

I live in PA too, but I have sectionals for the midwest. Email me
with what it is you want to know, and I'll try to help you.

I appreciate the offer, but airnav had just what I needed. I was
looking for smaller airports near Port Byron, IL, to see if anything was
closer than Quad City.

Thanks,
Matt

But you'll need to get them if you want to fly out there; won't you?

I'll need IFR charts and may buy sectionals for backup. I always file
IFR anymore as it is just easier with all of the airspace complications.
The trip is speculative at this point, so I didn't want to buy charts
that I might never use to find something I was sure had to be available
on the web.

Try using WAC charts for IFR cross-reference. Also, the VFR Terminal Area
charts.

I don't know why my search didn't find the airnav site, but it is a
great site.

Agreed. I forget everyone doesn't know about airnav. It should be part of the
Private Pilot curriculum. :-)

Just for the record, it's http://www.airnav.com

Also, Matt, you can get snippets of sectionals online, and I don't think anyone
has mentioned the possibility previously in this thread. If you're an EAA
member, you have access to http://www.aeroplanner.com. If not, there's a fee for
access, you might find it is worth it. As an alternative to paying the
aeroplanner fee, you can join EAA and get access as a member benefit.

There's another place for sectionals online, I think (from memory) it's
http://www.myairplane.com.

The people who run aeroplanner.com and myairplane.com hang out at
rec.aviation.owning sometimes, as does Paulo Sanchez(?) who runs airnav.com.
