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: Great Eastern Balloon Association

GEBA acts as a conduit for obtaining and disseminating information about ballooning to the general public. This is accomplished through this web site, the newsletter, mailings, and participation in numerous events. Through the work of the Newsletter Committee, we continue to disseminate information among GEBA’s ballooning community via the Skywriter. This web site is part of our efforts to increase the scope of those communications. Each GEBA member receives our annual membership directory, which lists the current association membership. The publication is useful in supporting communication between members. The Social Committee plans several events each year to give GEBA members the opportunity to meet and enjoy each others’ company.
