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 Tennessee Aviation Association (TAA)

The Tennessee Aviation Association (TAA) is an airports advocacy organization representing our statewide system of airports. The mission of TAA is to promote and encourage communications among its members, governmental entities and the general public; and to foster a better understanding of the value of all airports in the State of Tennessee. Celebrating more than 25 years of statewide advocacy, TAA membership includes representatives from airports, local governments, consultants, vendors and other suppliers that serve the aviation industry. We are proud to produce the annual Tennessee Airports Conference which is the single best event in the state in which to network, stay informed about the industry, and to learn about new aviation business opportunities. TAA is a non-profit corporation organized under section 501(c)(6) of the IRS code. We are dedicated to promoting airport-friendly State policy and legislation. There are many challenges facing general aviation today and each legislative session offers the aviation community the opportunity to be heard. TAA strives to stay aware of current legislative initiatives, allowing the association and its members to be proactive and effective when issues pertinent to aviation are presented.
