Ideas for what an Aeronautical chart might look like using OSM data. Based on Kosmos AirNav Rules
Adapted to look like official ICAO-Charts: http://www.flightplanner.de/legenden/ICAOD.png in low Zoom Levels.

This probably wants to be quite faint since it's only for correlating the map with what you can see in VFR view.
Rivers in blue since they will sparkle and reflect and be easy to see.
Large roads are all "just roads" - we don't care what designation they are, other than where it affects their width.

Airport labels
We need to be able to combine lots of different fields' data into one infobox for the airport, e.g. name, ICAO, IATA, frequencies, and put a border/background around the whole lot
