Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get the sectional/terminal VFR charts for California online in the U.K. Want to get these before Xmas - and coming from the states that may not be guaranteed at this time of year, unless anyone has had particular good experiences of buying online from the US - in terms of delivery time!
Thanks

Not so. You can download them here:

There's alo a wealth of other stuff, such as airport diagrams, approach plates, etc available on the web, you just gotta go looking for it.... happy landings!

How current are these. The dates on the files listed show 2004 - 2005 from what I can see. Also no charts for for the San Diego area.

Try giving Sportys a call. They may be able to take an order to ship the charts by UPS or Fedex the day they come into stock. You'll pay extra but could get them by Christmas.

A friend and I are heading to Northern California in May next year for some aeros and touring. So I was after the San Fran and Klamath falls sectionals....I have the San Diego ones from my jolly in September.........
