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: Flight 93 National
Memorial
On Tuesday morning,
September 11, 2001, the U.S. came under attack when four commercial
airliners were hijacked and used to strike targets on the ground.
Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives. Because of the
actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard one of the planes,
Flight 93, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was thwarted. The Flight
93 National Memorial has a place on the nation's honor roll of
iconic places which includes Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor. Why is
this ground so special? Why is this story so important? What began
as an ordinary morning ended as a historic day when a common field
in Pennsylvania was forever changed
