Jeppesen charts

I just found out about these today, which is weird/embarrassing , since my dad lived out his last years in an airpark. (I never caught the flying bug, flew a few times with his cronies, but it was just more or less laps around the airpark)

All I can say is Wow. The Jeppesen paper charts are staggering. To think that you pilots out there were using these in every condition to get all the necessary flight information is mind boggling. So much information per square inch of gi-normous maps. Stress? What stress? !!

I guess that every day is Christmas Day, now that you can use electronic charts on an ipad. (And the e-charts are unbelievably amazing in their own right!)

I suppose mariners have the same information?

It's another school day for me!!
