One of the nice things about the Jeppesen bags is that the internal binder partitions are particularily strong. So well made are they in fact, that one can slide a clip holster into the parition with a Colt .45 and neatly balance up the bag's imbalance with a box of fifty shells in the other section. (Two binder version.) This is a most useful pilot adjunct when flying in Africa - in case of a forced landing and the requirement for subsequent food provision for survivors, you understand. It defers decsions of a cannabalistic nature.
As for the charts, well, it's been a while but one seems to notice that Aerad have copied much of what was good about Jeppesen, such as minima on the same chart instead of requiring one to throw books around the cockpit in haste in a frantic effort to determine on which green page they might be found. Furthermore, it has been remarked in the past that Jeppesen revisions have been somewhat more up to date than Aerad. Still, once again and of course, in balance, O Prismatic One, one must concede your point.
