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: Shawn Pederson - Road to Recovery

Six months ago, Shawn "Norm" Pederson took the road less travelled.  After retiring from a career of public service as United States Air Force pilot, he decided to begin a new journey as a member of UVA's Darden Executive MBA Class of 2016. Shortly after joining the class, he experienced a massive aneurysm. 

As a retiree, his medical benefits were significantly reduced. Now, Norm is fighting to regain his life.  His family is doing what they can to help Norm find his way back.  We can help too.  This online fundraiser is for direct medical support to Shawn "Norm" Pederson.
