The MOST important Flying Tool you will use this Year!

I think I have to buy Mick Balaban a Trophy or something... besides being the smartest and nicest guy around, he CONTINUES to send me incredible links to useful sites! This last one is THE BEST... BAR NONE!
It is called SkyVector and it is an online chart program that lets you use actual VFR Sectional charts to find and plot your course and flight plans.
