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 Historic Aircraft Association
The Historic Aircraft Association (HAA) was founded in 1979 with
the aim of furthering the safe flying of historic aircraft in the
UK and, later on, supporting the restoration and preservation of
these aircraft. The Association, which currently has around 150
active pilot and engineer members, has made a major contribution to
General Aviation, ensuring that British flying heritage is kept
alive by promoting the safe flying of valuable, historic and
heritage aircraft.
