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: Triple Tree Aerodrome

Pat Hartness, assisted by a  team of associates and volunteers, sculpted the Triple Tree Aerodrome from a bare field and changed it into a first-class aviation facility. Ground-breaking began in 2000 when the lake and a 7000 foot grass runway were first created. In the ensuing years, a hangar, workshop, 1940's tower, multiple gazebos, shower facilities, campsites, hiking trails, helicopter sites and more have been added.

Throughout the years, as needs were encountered, Pat and the team have seen to it that those needs were met. Triple Tree is all about continuous improvement and change so that our visitors have the best possible experience.
