Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.
Aero Linx: The Distinguished Flying Cross Society
Whether you are a DFC recipient or just browsing to learn more about our rich history, we hope you enjoy our site. In August, 2012 our Society members and families enjoyed themselves at our National Convention in Seattle, WA. The three day event, with the focus being our WWII members, was praised by all who attended. The highlights were a very moving talk by Jonna Doolittle Hoppes (Jimmy Doolittle’s granddaughter) and the presentation of plaques to the 16 WWII members attending including one of the five remaining Doolittle Raiders, a Tuskegee airman and a Navy night fighter Ace. The Society continues to grow and now numbers over 6000 members with 21 chapters spread across the country.
