aviawiki.com

This is a new wiki for aviation destinations. Being a
wiki, you can edit it yourself to add or modify
entries. It's fairly new, so there's not much there
yet, but feel free to add to it, making it a valuable
resource for all of us.

Digital sectionals you can zoom and drag in your
browser window. Faster but less capable than
runwayfinder.com, below.
|
runwayfinder.com
|
Digital sectionals stitched together properly,
apparantly running as a google maps application. You
can zoom and drag just like google maps, and also chart
course lines (it plots something close to the great
circle route). You can also overlay google street maps
and sattelite photos, and it shows TFR boundaries.
Mongo cool! Note - sectionals are not quite
current.

|
Searachable listings of $100 hamburger sites, lodgings,
campsites, aviation museums, and other destinations.
Other content available for members; membership is

|
AVweb
|
A pretty good web aviation magazine. It is updated as
the articles come in, daily for some sections. It
requires (free) registration. Well worth
reading.
|
GPSFlightTracker
|
ATC Radar running over google maps and satellite
photos.
|
Acme mapper
|
Type in latitude and longitude, and this google map app
tells you where it is, overlaying it on your choice of
map, aerial photo, NEXRAD display, or other things.
Mongo cool, and a good way to check where intersections
really are for flight checking GPS. Actually, plain
old google maps will do it too, (just type in
coordinates) but this offers other backdrops.

New England
Pilots Group
|
A web based "let's get together and maybe fly" group,
hosted by meetup.com. I found this at a safety seminar
at HPN; I haven't tried it but it looks
interesting.
|
rentplanes.com
|
Search for planes to rent when you are away from ours,
such as on vacation. The web site also claims to list
FBOs, flight schools, and flying clubs, but I don't see
an easy way to do that, outside of simply looking for
planes.
