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: Cavanaugh Flight Museum
The Cavanaugh Flight Museum opened in October 1993, the
brainchild of its founder, entrepreneur Jim Cavanaugh. Cavanaugh
placed his growing collection of historic aircraft in the new
museum. From the beginning, what set the Cavanaugh Flight Museum
apart from most other aviation museums was the quality of the
aircraft collection and the airworthy condition of nearly all of
the aircraft on display. Many museum aircraft continue to fly on a
regular basis. On any given day, visitors may see aircraft active
on the museum's ramp. The museum's maintenance facility allows
visitors to look beneath the skin of such famous aircraft as the
Sopwith Camel, the P-51 Mustang, or the German Me-109 and to talk
with the mechanics who keep these warbirds flying. This is a rare
opportunity not found at other aviation museums. In addition, the
museum has other facilities for visitors to enjoy: an outdoor
picnic area, an air conditioned canteen, a large aviation art
gallery and a large gift shop.
