Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Search for airports within a large radius of a location?

Thanks Peter.

Looks like a great site, and indeed it let me search for all airport within 100 miles of a given airport.

I somehow got into a database search* and was able to specify that and come up with that list.

BUT: Unless I was missing something it only listed them (with links to airport details. Unlike the site I posted it doesn't show everything it found on a nice grasp-at-one-glance visual map.

Did I miss something about how to use it?

* Darn ... can't even remember how I got into that function :-(
