NGA has announced that they are removing from public sale
aeronautical and nautical charts, including JOGs, ONC, TPC, JNC, and
GNC charts.

These charts are a necessity for flying in many regions of the world
where other aeronautical charts are not available.  A very sad decision by NGA.

Rather than outright restricting the charts, NGA is putting so many
restrictions on gov't map distributors that these distributors are
giving up selling these items.  To date no replacement distributor
has been named, and IMHO none will be named.
