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: Aluminum Angels

The mission of Aluminum Angels is "To provide medical, educational and humanitarian assistance in remote areas of the world, by air”

In many parts of India, communities are remote and can be difficult to access.  Villagers may have to travel long distances to reach medical help. Likewise, doctors and other medical workers may have to spend many hours slowly travelling dusty, bumpy roads to reach those who desperately need their services.  

Aluminum Angels (AA) is helping overcome these obstacles by building, equipping, testing and certifying small aircraft here in the USA, then shipping them to India (and other countries) where they are most needed.
