No slack to take up ;-)
The ole world atlas is a constant companion these days though. What I'm looking for is a really detailed map(s) of Israel, Iraq, Iran and the Middle East- online naturally. When we first got kicked off in Afghanistan, one Freeper had a really kick a$$ map of the country. It was huge- megabytes worth. I saved it and cut it up and printed it. 14 A4 pieces of paper. Painstakingly taped 'em together and now I have a big map of Afghanistan that I have to lay on the floor to view properly (Home Improvement's Tim Allen makes urgh urgh urgh gorilla noises). I don't know where he got it though and I'd kill to come across similar maps of the countries I listed. Any ideas?
Finally, you may want to get the old wallet out and see if there are any airlines who would sell you some ANC's (Air Navigation Charts), or they may be able to tell you how to get them...
Last I looked, most of this stuff was being put on CD Roms... so you might even try Amazon to see if they have any.
Sorry I can't be of much help, wished you had asked the question 3 years ago! LOL!
