Default St Auban or ?

Before this thread scolls into oblivion, I just wanted to add a few notes:

I've been trying to figure out ways to learn more about airspace and procedures for a first attempt at soaring in the Provence area. As a non French speaking US citizen, I found this article very helpful. http://www.stauban..8m.com/index.html Is this Pappa Kilo's article?

A second item I discovered is SkyDemon, http://www.skydemon.aero/ , an aviation app that works on several platforms including the iPad and PC. It's an app like WingX, Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, except it also includes Europe. You can try this app free for a month (no affiliation) and with it you see all the European charts, detailed airport diagrams, airspace, NOTAMS, weather. You can measure distances, look at terrain, simulate flights and such. It's sort of difficult and expensive to order paper versions of all this material, so SkyDemon is worth a try out. ...Aaron
