And I've still got the idea somewhere in my notebooks. I haven't forgotten
about that :-)
I do think that OSM-derived aerial navigational charts are worth it, but we
need to get in touch with the people who would actually use it. How do we
reach out to GPS-hungry airplane pilots?
Approach charts are tricky, because they depend on each airport's
configuration, which depends on the wind direction. Would make a fun case for
dual caching, though :-)

Ooohh, complete with the "we claim this slice off Antarctica". You know that's
ripe ground for edit wars, right? :-P
