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: Minter Field
Museum
Minter Field is base for many flying WWII aircraft, including
Stearmans, Ryans, Stinsons, North American AT-6s, and Harvard, and
a P-51 Mustang. Minter Field is the home of Reno Air Race Champions
Bill "Tiger" Destefani and "Strega", and 8 time winner Eddie Van
Fossen who flew the AT-6 "Miss T-N-T", which are included in tours.
The field is known for many restoration companies who specialize in
Warbirds and Antiques. The Museum is currently restoring 2 period
aircraft: an Aeronca L3B "Grasshopper" and a Vultee BT-13 Valiant".
New to our collection is a 1928 design Pietenpol Sky Camper,
recently built and donated for display.
