In a previous article, said:
Lots of good data there but not so much as a readme to explain who/why. I
recently bought a copy of the FAA database disc from ATA-100 in order to play
with my own flight planning application -- now it appears that I could have
downloaded it from
http://aviationtoolbox.org. Cool.

Yeah, it's pretty sucky that the FAA wants $36 to make a CD (and ship it
FedEx), when there is so little data and so few people who care that it's
easy to share it out over a measly cable modem upload.

I have the CD subscription, and I make it available to a number of people
who download it from me every 56 days when I get the new one.
