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: Association for Women In Aviation Maintenance

Traditionally, most aviation organizations are founded to support pilots. Many in the aviation community felt a need for an organization to support aviation maintenance, in particular, its female members. This brought about the organization of AWAM. AWAM is an international organization, open to both women and men and has membership opportunities for both students and corporations. Our membership consists of maintenance technicians, engineers, teachers, scientists, vendors and pilots that support maintenance in one form or another. Our goal is to help women in aviation maintenance and find ways to network and support each other in this field.

For us to thrive, we need to seek the companionship and support of others like ourselves as well as other members of this industry that we have chosen to be a part of. Come join us and become a part of what makes AWAM unique. Join the association that will make an impact in the aviation maintenance industry! We have only just begun….
