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: Wings Over Houston
Come join us as we welcome back the USAF Thunderbirds to the
24th annual Ron Carter Wings Over Houston Airshow! The USAF
Thunderbirds will thrill you with their close formations, tight
turns, and solo head-on passes. This year's array of airshow talent
features an impressive parade of modern civilian aerobatic and
state-of-the-art military hardware. Watch the precision formation
flight of the USAF Thunderbirds. Marvel at the thunderous turns of
modern military fighters such as the F-18 and A-10. Thrill to the
stomach-wrenching flips of aerobatic pilots with famous names like
Sean Tucker, Julie Clark, and John McGillis. Witness the aerial
ballet artistry of Dan Buchanan's hang-glider. Feel the ground
shake as the Flash Fire jet truck races by. Meet living legends and
heroes at the autograph tent. For a list of our performers and
displays, visit our Feature Acts and Attractions & Displays
pages.
