Hi Brad,

See my posting of just a minute or two ago entitled "US Airspace and
Airport Data update". *I have for several years now posted new updates
via my website athttp://www.soaringdata.infoandon the Worldwide
Soaring Turnpoint Exchange in lockstep with every 56-day FAA charting
cycle. *These data are free, and are freely redistributable.

Sadly, "free, and are freely redistributable" is apparently going away
as of April. *The figure I'm hearing is $150 per end user per year,
with quite restrictive licensing. *Of course, Jeppesen and the other
big guys will be getting flat fee deals, so their profits will remain
intact. *Enjoy it while you can...

Lynn sent me a correction, it's the FAA Aeronav chart data that is
being licensed, not (yet, anyway) the SUA/airport data which comes
from a different department within the FAA. Thanks to Lynn for
making this data readily available to us!
