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: Nebraska High School Student Earns Private Pilot Certificate

We all have a story about what sparked our interest in aviation. For Kearney, NE high school student Alexis Barth, it was watching wide-eyed through the window when her father Gary flew the family in his Cirrus SR22 to vacations in Galveston, Cincinnati and beyond.

Alexis recently earned her Private Pilot Certificate, and her story was published recently by the Kearney Hub.
