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.

Recently, 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: Cape Canaveral History

Want to stroll through Cape Canaveral as it looked in the 50’s and 60’s? Well, you can’t, unless you do it virtually. Shadows of Canaveral begins at the Starlight Motel in Cocoa Beach (FL). You can explore the room or go straight to the reports pad and into the adventure. Visit the Ready Room, the Blockhouse, Cocoa Beach nightlife and the launch. Some parts are not quite ready yet. The project was created by the University of Central Florida, with help from sponsors.
