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: C133 Cargomaster Project

It seems as if there's a website out there for almost any type of airplane that's ever flown, and while roaming around the Internet, we came across this one dedicated to the Douglas C133 Cargomaster. The site's owners say it is a recognition of the development and operation of a magnificent airplane that did its job well and passed into undeserved obscurity. It also recognizes the achievements and accomplishments of hundreds of crewmembers, many of whose service started before World War Two and extended into the Vietnam War.
