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.
Recently, 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: Generate LIFT
The sister site to Girls with Wings, Generate LIFT (Lead.
Inspire. Fund. Train.) is designed to encourage young people to
achieve their aspirations. The site is also designed to encourage
an aviation community network. Volunteers sign up to become a
mentor, speaker, tutor or other capacity to generate an interest in
aviation. There is a form letter that volunteers can use to send to
local schools, scouts, clubs or other groups. If the airplane
won’t come to Mohammed, sometimes you have to send him a
letter. A future goal of Generate LIFT is to offer scholarships to
offset the cost of flight training.
