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.

Candler Field Museum

The Candler Field Museum was established to recreate the old Atlanta airport as it existed in the 1920's and 1930's. The museum will consist of several buildings: The American Airways Hangar - This building was completed in September, 2008 and is now open to the public. It is the first museum building to be built. Inside, the museum's collection of airplanes, cars, clothing and other items relevant to the era are displayed. In addition, the new Barnstormers Grill is also open with room enough for parties, banquets and corporate events. The Jack Barbery Research Library will open soon. The Museum Restoration Shop is now operational where visitors can see the restoration of various aircraft by museum volunteers.

Under Construction: The Candler Field Terminal, the Doug Davis and Beeler Blevins Hangars, and the Eastern Air Transport Hangar.
