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: Air Disaster.com

AirDisaster.Com began operations in 1996 as a small website dedicated to aviation safety information under the name 'The Aviation Accident Site.' Today, AirDisaster.Com is the premiere website of its kind on the internet, serving over 5 Million unique visitors monthly. Their interactive Accident Database is used by major media outlets such as The Associated Press and Reuters for their airline accident research. In addition, they claim to feature the largest Accident Photo Gallery on the internet.
