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: The American Waco Club
Perhaps the most straightforward me ands of explaining who we are and why we are organized is to simply copy verbatim the purpose of the American Waco Club as written in the original Articles of Incorporation. The Purpose of the Corporation shall be as follows:
A. To promote, encourage and enjoy the sport and hobby of owning and flying WACO airplanes without regard to the date of manufacture.
B. To promote and encourage quality restoration and safe operation of WACO airplanes.
C. To encourage and engage in the improvement and better understanding of WACO airplanes and the older science of aeronautics.
D. To foster closer fellowship among members through the exchange of knowledge of WACO airplanes and through the exchange of ideas of mutual interest.
E. To foster, promote, and engage in the study of WACO aviation history.
F. To provide a framework for and to encourage the establishment of regional chapters of the American Waco Club.
