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: Wings For Children

Welcome to Wings For Children, the site devoted to child abuse. Here you will find information on preventing child abuse, databases for missing children and sex offender registries. There is our “Angel Wings” program, created to help abused children reach destinations across America, and links to other child abuse prevention sites. Angel Wings transports sick and terminally ill children by privately owned aircraft and pilots for treatment. We are an all volunteer organization. Wings for Children has neither charged for any service or expense, nor have there ever been any paid staff.
