Default Graphical NOTAMs (not just TFRs)

Hi, I'm mostly a lurker, sometime poster on this forum and the other
rec.aviation forums. I've been a private pilot for almost two years
now, and to support my flying habit I'm also a software programmer
(yeah, throw a rock at a group of private pilots and there's a good
chance you'll either hit a doctor, lawyer or computer geek).

Anyway more to the point, I'm a huge fan of looking up aviation
information online, especially weather (I'm addicted to
adds.aviationweather.gov). But I'm disappointed in the lack of decent
software for accessing NOTAMs. There's DUATs and PilotWeb...and not
much else.

So a year ago I decided to build an application to get NOTAMs and
graphically draw the geographical data in the NOTAM text and overlay it
on a map. If you have some time feel free to take a look (its free, no
registration or signup required) its called Preflight Pro and its
located at http://www.notduats.com.

To see some sample NOTAM results take a look at the following links:

http://www.notduats.com/notam.aspx?s...land&radius=20
http://www.notduats.com/notam.aspx?s...exas&radius=20

If you have any questions or feedback I'd like to hear them. Thanks for
your time!
