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 Ninety Nines
The Ninety Nines is an international organization of licensed
women pilots from 35 countries - they currently have over 5,500
members throughout the world. International Headquarters is located
in Oklahoma City, OK. Although there are other female pilot
organizations in various states and nations, virtually all women of
achievement in aviation have been or are members of The
Ninety-Nines. The organization came into being November 2, 1929, at
Curtiss Field, Valley Stream, Long Island, New York. All 117
American female pilots had been invited to assemble for mutual
support and the advancement of aviation. Louise Thaden was elected
secretary and worked tirelessly to keep the group together as they
struggled to organize and grow until 1931, when Amelia Earhart was
elected as first president and the group was named for the 99
charter members. Today Ninety-Nines are professional pilots for
airlines, industry and government; pilots who teach and
pilots who fly for pleasure; they are pilots who are technicians
and mechanics. But first and foremost, they are women who love to
fly!
