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: Florida Airports Council
FAC is an association of publicly-owned and operated airports, airport professionals, and experts in the fields of airport design, development, and improvement, as well as aviation trades that support the airport industry in Florida. FAC is the largest airport-specific organization in Florida and is considered by industry leaders to be the premier airport organization in the nation. FAC provides up-to-date information to its members about key issues affecting Florida's airports through bi-weekly newsletters, presentations, publications, specialty conferences and on this web-page. FAC provides industry input into decisions affecting aviation and airports through communications with local, state and federal leaders. Through its large membership base, FAC has relationships with each legislator in the state, as well as Florida's congressional delegation. FAC's annual conference is the largest and most successful statewide airport event in the country with more than 700 industry professionals in attendance
and outstanding world-renowned speakers. There is no greater opportunity to network with the airport industry in Florida. Every airport in the state, regardless of size, provides that community's access to the global economy. FAC airports must continue to be developed, improved, and expanded to meet the needs of tomorrow's business environment.
