Default Ordering datafiles from the US?

Is there a US distributor for the Windsock Datafiles? I'm looking to avoid shipping costs by ordering from the US and having it (or them) shipped to my address in California where I can pick them up during a visit in December. I used to order from Hannan's Runway, but don't seem to be selling datafiles anymore. And I can't find a website for Wiseowl publications. I found a couple "wise owl" publications but not one in the US.

Don,

Byrd Aviation carries the Datafile series (and a lot of other good stuff too):

http://www.byrdaviationbooks.com/

I've had good experience ordering from them.

Best regards,

Lee McD

Thanks, Lee. Sure wish there was just a store like that in SoCal that I could just stop by at.

The Byrds are wonderful people. When buying books, I always give them first crack at my money.

They're tops, if you're looking for something they dont have listed let Barbara know and she'll keep a sharp eye out for you and send an e-mail when she finds it.

I looked first at the UK site, but I just hate having to play 5 pounds in ("rest of world") shipping for a 9 pound datafile.
