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: Midwest EAA Chapters Poker Run

The Midwest EAA Chapters Poker Run is a fun, multi-event series held between the months of May and October.  The participating EAA Chapters host an event at their home airport and at those events, Poker Run players get their Poker Run card stamped, verifying their attendance at the event.  The more events a player attends, the more cards they'll be able to draw at the last event of the season which we call "Game Day."  From the cards drawn, the player then makes the best 5-card poker hand and registers the hand with the judge.  Cash prizes are awarded to the 6 players who register the top 6 poker hands.  First Prize in 2007 paid $250.00!
