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 Grumman-Gang

The Grumman-Gang are airplane owners, pilots and others who fly or wished they flew the so called "Grumman" light aircraft and who keep in touch by e-mail, exchanging information about maintenance, where to get parts, etc, and to remind people about fly-ins where cyber pals can press the flesh. People come and go but there are usually about 1000 active folks at any time. They have been brought together by Mark Matthews of Hillsboro OR, who originated the Grumman-Gang and who pays for and operates the mailing list that distributes mail among Grumman-Gang subscribers.
