Default Winds aloft

Does anyone know where I could find current winds aloft data for flight planning purposes?

thanks Brock, I actually found a way to find them on the NAIPS. It's pretty good actually.

Slightly off-topic, but the CASA website mentions that NAIPS is currently not compatible with Windows Vista (until they come up with a compatible patch version of it).

Just wondering if anyone knows if NAIPS does work on Vista despite what it says on the website?

I have Vista and it works, but I don't think it works on Windows 7

Wonderful. Thanks everyone. Guess I can just go ahead and download NAIPS now (despite what it says on the CASA website).

Cheers
