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: Gulf Coast Wing of the CAF, Houston, Texas, USA

The Gulf Coast Wing (GCW) was chartered on September 19, 1971 with the original document displaying the signatures of Lloyd Nolan, the founder of the CAF and Deputy Commander Van Skiles. Van Skiles was also the first Wing Leader of the GCW with Eddie Burke serving as his Executive Officer. Eddie, Van & wife Betty Skiles were the cornerstones of the fledgling CAF unit. Right from the start, the group had a tight-knit dynamic punctuated with lots of energy, excitement, and camaraderie.
