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: Area 51... And 19!?!

For those of you who believe SETI has already found something and our government is hiding it, here’s some links to Area 51 and Area 19 (you DO know about area 19, right?) Curiously, there are not as many websites for Area 51 and 19 as you might think, hmmmm.
