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: Cessnas 2 Oshkosh 2014

The arrival of the summer solstice signals the beginning of the final stretch on the way to the 9th Annual Cessnas 2 Oshkosh Mass Arrival. Planning starts to give way to execution as the registration and training activities begin to wrap up.

The first time this event took place in 2006, the year of the 50th anniversary of the Cessna 172, Cessnas 2 Oshkosh accomplished the feat of flying 50 aircraft in formation into Oshkosh. The landing sequence from the time the first aircraft in the formation touched down to the time the last airplane was off the runway taxiing on its way to the North 40 took 11 minutes.
