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: Wright Image Group

This group is working to create a monument in Dayton, OH to the two guys who started it all ... Orville and Wilbur Wright.

Seen from up to three miles away by the 62+ million vehicles that pass through the intersection of I-70/I-75 each year, the Triumph of Flight will be a stunning stainless steel replica of Wright Flyer III, the world’s first practical airplane, soaring 270 feet high. America’s next great monument is destined to become the iconic symbol of man’s achievement of flight. Join us, learn more, get involved, and read all about this special monument to man’s most towering triumph.

The Triumph of Flight will be a stunning 27-story monument dedicated to the dreamers of aviation — a shimmering 1905 Wright Flyer soaring over the intersection of I-70 and I-75.
