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: National Warplane Museum

The National Warplane Museum (formerly know as The 1941 Historical Aircraft Group) was established in 1994 by an initial band of 250 aviation enthusiasts. The primary goal of the Group was to maintain the traditional airshow held on the turf strip at the Geneseo airport and to highlight the aircraft of the past with a focus on World War II aviation.
 
The first Warbird Gathering Airshow was held in September of 1994. Each year since then, the Airshow has continued to grow, both in aircraft participation and attendance.

The Museum relies on several main sources of funding; Membership, Donations, Fundraisers, and Planned Giving. There are many ways to help support the Museum. Cash donations, will bequests, trusts, life insurance and IRA beneficiary designations are a few. You can be a part of our long-range plan and help ensure our growth in the future.
