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 Lake Amphibian Club

The Lake Amphibian Club is an organization of Lake aircraft owners and aficionados which provides fellowship and communication for owners and future owners of Lake Amphibians. We have nearly 400 members in North America, Europe, Australia and throughout the world. The club is dedicated to the promotion of safety, knowledge, & proficiency through exchange of information. This is accomplished via a newsletter which is published six times a year, and through a very active members-only internet discussion forum. There is now an accumulation of over 1350 pages of newsletters going back over 28 years. This resource contains a wealth of information concerning the operation of Lakes, and is available for purchase by members of the club. The club was founded in 1988 by Bill and Louise Goddard of Frostproof, Florida. Bill and Louise had a Lake Buccaneer and kept it parked on the lawn of their home on Lake Reedy. They initiated an annual Fly-In event which brought together Lake flyers from near and far and continues to this day.
