Hello All,
I've just completed the work to add KML (for use with Google Earth) as
a supported format for the US airspace files available on my website
(at http://www.soaringdata.info) and on the airspace section of the
Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange. You can choose to download a
compressed KMZ version containing the airspace for the entire US, or
make a smaller custom subset of your own in conjunction with an
airport data query.
Feedback is more than welcome, either in this forum or via the email
link provided on my site.
Happy Downloading!

I am a drone pilot and your KMZ for Google Earth will be a God-send for an upcoming project.
Thank you!

anyone else, a 3D KMZ is available from:

Hello Kevin,
Just download the kmz from the airspace tab on http://www.soaringdata.info. The current version is at http://soaringdata.info/aviation/countHits.php?count=kmzCount&file=allusa.v21.02-25.2.kmz
If you want something for a smaller area, follow the link from the airports tab to the airport query form. Put in a center airport and a radius, and select the checkbox for a companion airspace file in KML format.

Hello Kevin,
If you look a little lower on the airspace tab, you will find versions for Hang Glider and Paraglider pilots that include Class E2 surface areas designated for airports. This is because at least certain operations involving those aircraft are restricted in such areas. I don't have (and at this time I don't intend to have) versions that include other Class E areas, since they are not restricted areas for any aircraft -- they only affect VFR weather minima.
