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: The Air Charity Network 

Air Charity Network is comprised of network member organizations who cover specific geographical service areas and coordinate volunteer pilot flights in the continental United States as well as Alaska and Hawaii. The Air Charity Network is a collaborative organization. Each member of the network holds a seat on the Air Charity Network Board and the officer positions currently rotate annually among the member organizations. Each individual member member of the network has its own full-time staff and autonomous Board of Directors. While most policies and procedures are commonly shared by each of the members, there are a few unique qualities within each due to geographic location, populations served and regional cultural aspects. However, the mission and purpose of all members is focused on “giving hope wings” to children and adults in need by leveraging aviation resources.
