Say where you wanna go, the site'll tell you where to land.

I hope this tool will be useful:
(the idea came after I was asked a question in this forum)

You say where you want to go, the site finds the nearest airfields where you can land.

http://www.eurovfr.com/moteur/form_wtl.php

The radius is limited to 35nm around your destination. If this is not enough according to SA standards (because of your geography), please let me know...

By the way : don't forget to add data in the airfields database ( http://www.eurovfr.com and then search the airfield and click on the update button at the bottom of the card. Thanks.)

Thank you for your comments and thank you to those you keep adding data about their airfields.

There are now links to airfields data from the page showing the results of your request.

Thank you John, I'm going to correct them.

I take the opportunity to tell everyone that I've just improved the feature : airfields now appear with color coded information.

Suggestions, commenst and critics still welcome. :)
