Glad you all have found our 3D airspace site interesting. We are hopefully going to rerun the scripts that generate this with the dafif_0610 dataset over the weekend. Just FYI, the problem with Oceanic FIRs and other large airspaces intersecting the earth is essentially a bug in Google Earth. We have notified them of it, and sent sample data, but they seem to think we are the only group working with polygons this big. Oh well ...

There is another app, albeit not as interesting as the 3D version, but which has the same data on a global scale in 2D. Check it out @ http://globalais.net/aisviewer/ To turn on and off layers, you will have to select the "Legend" button. The aim is to integrate OPMET and other Dynamic weather as well as NOTAMs and other relevant data types into this app.

Another of our projects is attempting to convert upper air wind data into KML for viewing in 3D, and we have also discussed trying to convert procedures into KML for 3D viewing.

The products which these apps are based on targeted at international AIS offices who produce charts and AIPs, but we are very interested in any input from professional pilots and ATC types. If any of you are interested in contacting me personally off-list to discuss potential features which could be useful to you, please dont hesitate.
