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.

Recently, 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: Intrepid Air And Space Museum Updates

If you head to the webcam that normally shows the USS Intrepid Museum on the Hudson River you will notice something a little different: the ship is missing. As of December 5, the Intrepid has moved to a new home, temporarily, in Bayonne, NJ. While Pier 86 is being demolished and rebuilt, the Intrepid will spend the next two years at her temporary berth getting a face lift. She will be closed to visitors during this time but you can watch her renovation with the webcam. The aircraft on the flight deck and below will be part of the refurbishing plan as well. Then get ready for the fall 2008 re-opening.
