Ran across an interesting web site today, then did a Google search of
RAS and found it hasn't been mentioned here yet:

It's interesting to me as a US pilot because the current METARs and
TFRs are available by right clicking on a colored airport marking. Once
the new window opens, you can get runway information. Sectional views
are the default, but road map, satellite, and hybrid views are also
available.


That's nice.

I did a much simpler map of New Zealand with all the airfields from a
list on the Civil Aviation Authority website, and linked it to the
Air Information Publication website for airfield information.

I must fix it so it works with Internet Explorer sometime. Currently
it works with Firefox.
