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: Royal Air Force Model Aircraft Association

Interested in aeromodelling? Want to fly off some of the best runways in the country? Want discounts on recommended retail prices? Want to be able to borrow infrequently used expensive tools rather than buy your own? The RAF Model Aircraft Association (RAFMAA) offers all these and more. The primary aim of any sport within the Royal Air Force is to contribute to military effectiveness by encouraging personal qualities such as courage, resilience and esprit de corps. RAFMAA has enjoyed strong support from senior leadership in the RAF who recognise our joint goal of improving air-mindedness, particularly for those Servicemen and women that don’t have day-to-day close contact with aircraft.
