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: Calgary's Aero Space Museum

For our northern readers in Canada or any US snowbirds that have headed north for the summer there are several aviation museums that will be in Aero-Linx the next few days. Founded in 1975, the Aero Space Museum is located in Calgary. The museum’s mission is to “preserve and promote the stories of people who contributed to the aviation and space industry in Western Canada.” Several planes and engines are displayed at the museum. Other exhibits include simulators, a POW exhibit, RC models and information about the Canadian Space program.
