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: Aviation Simulation Group

The site represents "a consortium of engineers and manufacturers who have come together to serve your needs for aviation simulation products; Primarily for the F-16 at this time." The products that we provide serve to cause your simulator to give you the ultimate amount of realism and maximum suspension of disbelief possible at an affordable price point, both to commercial entities who provide high fidelity simulators to their customers, and to the hobbiest who is just as intent and devoted to have the most realistic pit possible. All of us are military aviation enthusiasts. Many of us have already built or are in the process of building our own military aircraft simulators. The majority of the staff are United States military veterans.
