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: International Cessna 170 Association

The International Cessna® 170 Association (TIC170A) was formed in 1969. We have over 1,000 members who own more than 850 aircraft. “Preserving and promoting a truly classic aircraft” requires time, talent, and resources. It took foresight to form the association back in 1969 to share information about flying and maintaining the Cessna® 170. Members have spent many hours gathering data and sharing information through publications, conventions, fly-ins, and internet forums.
