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: Warbird Recovery

Warbird Recovery is committed to the International recovery and restoration of rare and historic military aircraft. The first aircraft recovery trip took place in the Summer of 1993 in Siberian Russia and the mission was to recover rare Japanese and US fighters. Aircraft which have been successfully recovered and brought to the United States by Warbird Recovery include several Messerschmitt Bf109 fighters, a North American P-51D and a British Hawker Hurricane. All aircraft acquired by Warbird Recovery are intended to be restored to flying condition and will be displayed at the Spirit of Flight Center near Denver, Colorado. In addition, Warbird Recovery works with Museums and private collectors worldwide to help fill their collection needs.
