"aeroplanner" online flight planning

I just checked out a pretty cool website for online flight planning. I think Bela may have posted something about this one a while back.

It is apparently a paid subscription show, but you get a free ride if you're an EAA member-- of course, it's not the "E" ticket ride with all the bells and whistles.
I just poked around on the site for a few minutes. I've never done much with this online interactive flight-planning business, so it all seems quite wondrous to me. Just enter your departing airport & waypoint/destination airports (or VOR's, etc), true airspeed,fuel burn,and mother's maiden name (april fool!), and it spits out winds aloft,course & heading, groundspeed, fuel consumed, and time enroute--even TFR's & such along the way. Amazing!
