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 American
Helicopter Museum and Education Center
The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center is the
nation's premier aviation museum devoted exclusively to
helicopters. We collect, restore and display historic aircraft and
chronicle the origin and development of rotary wing aircraft. Each
year the Museum hosts thousands of visitors, school groups,
families and senior citizens. Tourists of all ages from the U.S and
abroad come here to witness the history and the future of the
helicopter. Through our library's continually growing
collection of documents, artifacts, films, memoirs and research the
Museum serves as an important source of public information about
rotary wing aircraft. Appropriately, the Museum is located in
suburban Philadelphia where two of today's major helicopter
manufacturers have their roots, and where much of the earliest
development of helicopters in the U.S took place.
Currently, the Museum displays over 35 civilian and military
helicopters, autogiros and convertaplanes. The exhibits span the
history of rotary wing aircraft from the earliest helicopters to
the latest addition to our nation's defense, the V-22 Osprey.
