Yeah, very good site.

Maptech Mapserver is another site with aeronautical charts. I like the fact that you can switch between the charts and topo maps, and for some areas, aerial photos.

Yeah, I noted that--I was looking for Lincoln Park, as mentioned in another thread, and saw that it was there, but the identifier was wrong. It's still useful, if you're trying to get a mental picture of how terrain and airspace interact, to be able to go from the sectional chart to topo, and back, with just a click of the mouse. I also like how it will give you lat/long for wherever you place the cursor.

skyvector is fantastic. I recently flew coast to coast in a Warrior, VFR, using their sectionals on a second monitor. I didn't even bother to pull out the few real sectional charts I have.

Side note...screen shots of first two legs are here :)
