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 RedStar Pilots Association
The RedStar Pilots Association is a national non-profit (501c3) organization with members throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Italy and Germany, and more. The RPA's mission is to promote and preserve the safe operation, display and enjoyment of all aircraft -- jet to prop, aerobatic, sport, warbird and utility -- and especially those originating in the current and former communist block nations. The RPA strives to function as the primary clearing house for information related to the maintenance and safe operation of our aircraft. We are an FAA-sanctioned signatory to the Formation And Safety Team (FAST). This allows us to train, qualify and manage civilian formation pilots in the United States and Canada for the safe conduct of formation flight.
