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.

There are A LOT of truly valuable resources out there... from pages devoted to nearly every kind of aircraft imaginable, to some well-thought-out blogs, to the official websites of such organizations as AOPA, EAA, and NAFI -- you name it and its probably out there.

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: Airline Food

Fed up with airline food? Then this is not the site for you, it’s dedicated to airline food. Think the crew gets better meals than you do? You can find out. One bit of info, apparently there’s no freebies for Lufthansa crews; they have to PAY for their meals. Photos go back to the 1950’s (hopefully the food isn’t still around). You can even submit a photo of your own entrée, along with the flight info, naturally.
