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 Navion Society
The American Navion Society publishes a newsletter bi-monthly and is a major source of Navion parts, publications, and technical information. It maintains a current membership of over 800 and from the inception in 1960, over 8600 Navion enthusiasts have passed through the ranks. The membership numbers started with #150, except for #1 that was issued to Leo Childs, the manager of the Rangemaster factory. Membership number 8888 has just been issued. An Annual Convention and Fly-in is held each summer in a different part of the United States. A list of former Convention sites is listed below which shows the scope of area the ANS covers. The Society has a table set up at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh every year in the Vintage Aircraft Type Club Tent. This is a major source of information for new members or those interested in learning more about the Navion.
