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 Michigan Helicopter Association

The Michigan Helicopter Association was formed in 1974 by a group of concerned pilots who saw a need to promote helicopter usage and safety in the state. It has since grown to almost 100 members of rotary
enthusiast. We hold monthly board meetings on the 3rd Thursday of each month to discuss activity in the industry and network on group gathering experiences of mutual interest. General membership meetings are held bi-monthly at various locations around the state at areas of interest to helicopter enthusiasts with locations posted here. Past meetings have been conducted at the Yankee Air Museum, Kalamazoo Air Zoo, and GLIAC Convention to name a few. Fly-In events for helicopters are organized and publicized yearly to give our members opportunities to get together and enjoy the company of fellow helicopter enthusiasts.
