I use mine for gift wrapping.

Good idea. A buddy at the airport said he gave his to his kids to wrap
exercise books for school. My little one is a bit small for that, but he
certainly likes to roll around in them for a half-hour or so....

Our pair of parakeets use the old sectionals to plot future flights :-)

I use them for gift wrapping too, though I will say that the VFR sectionals
make better wrapping paper.

Looks like he's having problems finding the DRIBL intersection.

I give them to the geography teacher at our local high schools. You can learn a
lot of geography with old aircraft charts...especially sectionals. The advanced
students learn how to coordinate the instrument charts with the VFR charts.

As box stuffing when shipping stuff.

I always wanted to wallpaper a spare bedroom wall with the east coast
sectionals as a seamless chart for flight planning. Just never seem to find
the time.

My wife used to do that with her sixth grade students....years later, when I
was a designated written test examiner, several of her ex-students came in
to take flight engineer and ATP writtens.

I love this one. He looks like he's saying "now look here, Dad,
if you go VOR direct here instead of by the airway you'll shave
30 miles off the trip."

Don't overlook old approach plates. Crumple 'em up, fill up a large
box or a wading pool, and let 'em rip -- literally!

Cheers,
Sydney

PS and don't forget that actually old enroutes are useful for
student pilots and VFR pilots

Now that I will have to try! :) I have thousands of old plates piled up in a
cupboard. The only thing I use 'em for at the moment is starting fires -- if
you crumple them up, they're pretty good for getting BBQ's going.

Before or after the Parakeets do their flight planning?

I know that guy! He designs instrument approach procedures.

I toss 'em in the recycle with the junk mail.

The actions taken by the New Hampshire Episcopalians (ie. inducting a gay
bishop) are an affront to Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that
the church's founder, Henry VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, and his
wife Anne Boleyn, and his wife Jane Seymour, and his wife Anne of Cleves,
and his wife Katherine Howard, and his wife Catherine Parr are no longer
here to suffer through this assault on traditional Christian marriages.
