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: Aero-TV LIVE!

It was quite a start. This past week, the Aero-News Network innovated, yet again, with the addition of professional live web streaming to the growing ANN/Aero-TV suite of programming options. The world's first Real-Time, 24/7 Aviation and Aerospace news and information service, ANN selected the ever intensive Aircraft Electronics Association Annual Convention & Trade Show for the debut of this exciting new programming initiative.

ANN produced FOUR Live programs in THREE days, all with unique needs and complexities -- and to say the last, we're thrilled with the result... and our viewers seem to agree.

If you missed any of it, the archives are now active and available for immediate, ON-DEMAND vciewing at www.aero-news.net/live. The following AEA2010 programming is available:

• On Thursday, April 8th, 0930 ET, Aero-TV presented live coverage of AEA’s annual New Product Introduction forum.
