Default Locate airports by radius from a given airport

Find a database of airports, including lat/lon coordinates. Load them into
Excel.

Find a formula to calculate distance between 2 points.

Put a column into the spreadsheet with the calculated distance from your
airport.

Sort by distance.

Does anyone know of a good way to locate airports that are 200 miles or
more from a given airport? I realize a large planning chart with a circle
drawn would be easy, but I don't have one of those handy. I need to plan
a 200 mile cross country for my commercial day/night long cross country
and want to look for airports at least 200, but less than say 300 miles
from KELM. I figure someone somewhere knows of software which will do
this, but I'm not away of any.
