[TowerTalk] FAA form 7560-1 question

[Jim Lux]

You have to watch out if you use a topo map.. Make sure you read the stuff
in the lower left corner that defines which projection and datum they are
using.  Many topo maps are based on NAD27, but they'll have the corrections
to NAD83 written in the corner..
