Aviation maps for QGIS version 2.2+ created using freely available data from FAA.
Everything I can find freely online is in here (METARS, SIGMETS, Controlled and Special Use Airspace, Weather Radar etc)
- Execute "freshenLocalData.sh" to download the databases, shapes etc from Dropbox and extract locally
- Open "Aviation map.qgs" with QGIS (http://qgis.org/)
- Explore all of the layers, there are lots of them. Feel free to submit changes, it's not perfect by any means.
