Hi Seb, 

I have been giving your script a good going over and Noticed in
FlightGear that the distance from was 19550nm (approximately). I
generated the following "flight plan" for KSFO to KRNO.

$ cat fp-KSFO-KRNO
OAK
CC
TZZ
SA
MCC
HNW
SWR
KRNO

Distance of WPTs from KSFO (rounded to the nearest nm)

OAK      9nm
CC    7820nm!!
TZZ     51nm
SA      63nm
MCC     77nm
HNW   5708nm!!
SWR    136nm
KRNO   166nm

Could someone verify if the script is spitting out the wrong list of way
points or that Flightgear CVS is picking up the navaids on the other
side of the planet. Other flights sound about right, eg. KDEN to KASE
(thanks for that one Funkapus).

I have included the output of the your script as it appeared on screen
at the end of my email.

Seb, Anyway thanks for a great little script.

Regards


George
