ANN's Daily Aero-Linx (06.28.15)

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: Collegiate Soaring Association

In late 1985, CSA was formed to foster and promote the amateur sports of gliding and soaring in the context of Colleges and Universities, on a National and non-profit basis. CSA shares goals with other bodies, such as the National Inter-collegiate Flying Association (NIFA), the Soaring Society of America (SSA), and a host of University Sports Associations. Since 1989, CSA has been recognized by SSA as an Affiliate, and is thereby connected to NAA and FAI, but is otherwise independent. Perhaps unlike NIFA, CSA's end-goal activity is a sport aspect of flying (soaring) rather than a career aspect. Nonetheless, CSA encourages the use of gliders in Aviation Education, for which they offer many advantages.

More specifically, CSA exists to:

  • Sanction Intercollegiate Soaring Contests for teams and individuals.
  • Maintain regular communication between existing College Soaring organizations.
  • Act as a clearing-house of information towards the formation of new College Soaring organizations.
  • Act as a central publicizing and fund-raising body for soaring by young people enrolled in school.
