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: Air Display Association Of Europe

The Air Display Association Of Europe was founded in 1987 by a small group of dedicated enthusiasts to bring together both Organizers and Pilots and represent them in dealings with the Civil Aviation Authority who, at that time, was considering introducing new legislation to regulate the Industry. Since then it has grown into a pan-European organisation whose members include the organisers of practically all the major UK Airshows and a majority of those arranging smaller events. Some 20% of the Association membership is drawn from mainland Europe, from as far afield as Finland and Malta, hence the inclusion of Europe in its current title.
