Bob,

Exactly what sort of data are you interested in?  Airport/runway
dimensions, location, and lighting info???  Navaid location and
frequency?  That sort of stuff?

If so, have a look at:

    ftp://ftp.x-plane.com/pub/nav_apt_fix/NewFormat.zip

This contains a bunch of this sort of info.  It's pretty complete for
the USA.  The guy who is maintianing this data base (Robin Peel) is
also working on filling in data for other countries as well.

What I'm still trying to find is a data base of aerial obstacles like
radio towers, smoke stacks, skyscrapers, etc.

Curt.
