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 United States Ultralight Association

USUA has been promoting, protecting and representing ultralight aviation in the USA for over twenty years, and has been quite successful in providing much needed benefits to its members such as liability insurance, legal guidance in resolving airport access issues and other matters, as well as offering additional money saving member programs.

USUA also conceived and developed the industry standard for training and registering fixed wing, trike and PPC pilots, instructors and ultralight vehicles. And, USUA has been able to serve its members effectively by providing a full time office and staff in support of these, and other member programs.
