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: WASP on the WEB

During World War II, a select group  of young women pilots became pioneers, heroes, and role models...They were the Women Airforce Service Pilots, WASP, the first women in history trained to fly  American military aircraft. In memory of those we have lost and in honor of those we still cherish... WELCOME. Our missionis to let the voices and the stories of the WASP inspire and encourage our visitors to fly higher than they've ever flown. And one thing you should know right up front, WASP ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. They don't need to make anything up! WASP LIVED their history, one checkride, one heartbreak and one triumph at a time. On this site you will find videos, photos, games, WASP graphics and great digital primary resource information on the Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII.
