[Xastir] FAA Sectionals

[Gerry Creager n5jxs]

You can get the DVD from NACO, OR, you can snag the shapefiles (or 
MapInfo tab files) from NGA 
(https://164.214.2.62/products/digitalaero/index.cfm) and "make" your own.

NGA's responsible for the actual management of the data; NACO makes the 
maps for aeronautical distribution to the public, while NGA makes the 
military charts.

My Xastir install on the laptop has all the navaids, enroute facilities 
and I can query the attributes when I need to.
