WAC Chart Images on line?

Now that we have Approach Procedure chart images available on-line, does
anybody know of a URL where I can get WAC Chart images (or Sectional
Chart images) on line?

I'd like to print a kind of strip chart for various trips that I take,
with just the route of flight and 30-40 miles to either side. I can
scan the hard copy charts, but it would be nice if I could just download
them.

I suspect they are NOT available, but I'm surprised by what I think to
be true that has changed since I checked.

Rich, aeroplanner.com (a pay site, unless you're in EAA) has WAC and
sectional and IFR low altitude charts on line. They also have a trip-tik
setup, like the AAA trip-tiks, that you can print. At least they did when I
was in EAA, I let my membership lapse so I can't check for you right now.
(I'll re-join at SNF).

There should always be a fresh batch in "current".

Plug in an address and an airport. Select a resulting "sectional route"
link.

(I'll make a better interface eventually but this works for the testing
I'm doing these days. Note that the red line is the Great Circle path.
I'm still deciding how to handle the difference between that and the
"straight sectional path".)

Wow!
That's EXACTLY what I want!

I went to the Government site and d/l their sample chart.
I'm having trouble transferring from your site, though. I try to d/l
and nothing happens. Tried using both Netscape and IE. Any suggestions?

It's OK...
I kept at it and sometimes the file would download and sometimes not.
Took several tries for each chart (I did 5) but I got the data I needed.

Thanks AGAIN!
