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.

The mission of Aeromedicos of Santa Barbara is to furnish free medical and dental care to residents of remote regions of Mexico who have limited or no other access to care. They also provide free medicines, medical supplies (such as hearing aids, prescription eyeglasses, crutches, and respiratory aids), and health education to improve residents' self-care efforts. Their mission is achieved solely through volunteer efforts and the financial assistance of members, charitable organizations, and contributions.
