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: International Birddog Association

The members and Board of Directors of the International Birddog Association·sincerely hope that you enjoy this site as it is dedicated to one of the greatest aircraft that has served the United States Military and military services around the world. The L-19 Birddog in it's original configurations and later models such as the O1 Birddogs in it's many configurations was for many years and many decades, the work horse, the eyes and ears, and the most famous observation aircraft the world has known. For this reason and for the thrill of actually piloting and flying this aircraft the International Birddog Association is actively engaged in the preservation of the aircraft and the memory of it's service.
