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: Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum 

The Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum is a non-profit organization located at Creve Coeur Airport (1H0).  The museum has on display one of the largest collections of flying antique, classic and sport aircraft in the country. The museum conducts guided tours from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (Central), Saturdays, Sundays, or by appointment during the week. There are usually 30 to 40 aircraft hangared in the three main museum buildings, with at least that many scattered throughout the airport. Some of the aircraft featured in the museum are an original "Cub", the "Timm Collegiate" flown by Charles Lindbergh, and the first "Curtiss Air Sedan", which was made right here in St. Louis. It is not uncommon to see a vintage car or motorcycle in the museum as well.
