Locate airports by radius from a given airport

Hi Matt,

CTB, old WW II Bomber training base, is the only "close" place to get fuel
on the east side. The Chevy dealer in Cut Bank (406) 873-5515, does rent a
couple cars and I think the Ford and Dodge dealer do too.

The road over the pass "Going to the Sun" is still closed (snow and
avalanches). The park Service is predicting a June 15 opening date.
The air field in Babb (49S) is pretty good (wide and long), but has the
normal gravel, gopher holes, cows, cow pies, elk, etc.
It does not have fuel service.
The Cattle Barron (former Babb Bar) does offer good steaks and within
walking distance (1/4 mile) from the west end of the air field.

Thanks for the note on the eastern side. How accessible is the park from
Cut Bank? Kalispell is closer, but Cut Bank seems to be easier approaches
and cheaper fuel. Correct?

Kalispell's Glacier Intl?

The identifier was changed a few months ago to GPI from FCA. GPI stands
for Glacier Park International, that has been the name of the airport
for a long time.

There are no rental cars available at CTB. GPI and S27 are better. S27
is right in the middle of Kalispell and has a grocery store on the field
as well as a motel, the Aero Inn. When we go play in the mountains this
is where we go when we need to get some supplies. Fuel is a little
cheaper in CTB. As for approaches this is no place to be IFR in a
spamcan. VFR is easy around here.

Sounds like I'm too late, but...

AOPA has a Radius Search for airports within xxx miles of another aiport.

I realize that's the inverse of what you are looking for, but when it is done
searching, it lists the results in distance order. So you could search for
airports within 250 or 300 nm of your starting point, and then scroll
immediately down to 200nm as a starting point...

Does anyone know of a good way to locate airports that are 200 miles or
more from a given airport? I realize a large planning chart with a
circle drawn would be easy, but I don't have one of those handy. I need
to plan a 200 mile cross country for my commercial day/night long cross
country and want to look for airports at least 200, but less than say
300 miles from KELM. I figure someone somewhere knows of software which
will do this, but I'm not away of any.

Sorry for the delay getting this posted, but it's exactly what the
original poster asked for

I'm surprised nobody remembered this. Kyler's been wonderful about sharing
his efforts, at no charge, with the rec.aviation.* crew. Too bad everyone
seems to have forgotten him.
