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: Texas Pilot's Association
We Are... The TPA is a statewide nonprofit General Aviation (GA) organization of both pilots and non-pilots who are committed, first and foremost, to preserving and advancing GA in the great State of Texas, then the U.S., to be followed by the rest of the world, via forging relationships and supporting sister interest groups in their respective and relating domains... The passion for flight and aviation has no boundaries nor nationality! Education & Preparation... One of our primary goals continues to be: proactively encouraging and supporting education in all fields that cater to GA with emphasis -when possible- on traditional schooling programs from the early years of schooling to high school levels, in order to attract and facilitate the better preparation of the next generation of Texan aviation/aerospace pioneers and enthusiasts. The Dream... To add, we want to make sure that we keep the "dream of flight" alive in the minds of the younger generations, while continuing to recognize and pay
homage to those men and women who have lead the way and pioneered different feats in aviation, aeronautics, and aerospace
