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.

The Advocates For Aviation Safety Foundation

The website of the The Advocates for Aviation Safety Foundation has a mission that allows them to work with Kevin Clover and the FAASTeam to promote the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program and to help save lives by improving the nation's aviation accident and incident rate.

Their Our plan is to develop a nationwide network of pilot volunteers who will participate in an on-going telephone campaign to alert pilots about FAASTeam seminars and events to promote participation in "WINGS" - the FAASTeam Pilot Proficiency Program.

If you have a sincere interest in aviation safety and the Wings Pilot Proficiency Program, The Advocates For Aviation Safety Foundation (AFASF) invites you to join the team. All they ask of you as a volunteer, is to make phone contact to aviators from lists provided, informing them of the benefits of the Aero-NewsBug and the programs it promotes in the interests of aviation safety.
