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: 2011 Women in Aviation Conference

Despite the unmistakable fact that I don't meet the gender specs one associates with the annual Women in Aviation Conference, this gathering has become one of my favorites, year after year. The positive vibe s incredible and Peggy Chabrian's staff has NEVER failed to host an event that inspires and enthuses all those who love aviation -- of ANY gender. This year, we'll be pleased the announce the awarding of the first two of our annual Vicki Cruse Memorial Scholarships, so you can be assured that we'll be there. Stop by and join us!

22nd Annual International Women in Aviation Conference, February 24-26, 2011, Grand Sierra Resort, Reno, Nevada.
