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: Dayton Aviation Trail

There is a lot of aviation history in Dayton, OH, and having just returned from COPA Migration 8 that city, we though it might be a good time to re-visit The Dayton Aviation Trail. The trail grew out of a regional economic development conference held at the University of Dayton on November 18-19, 1980.  One of the ideas that came out of the conference was to use the area's aviation heritage to market the region by establishing two trails:  a tourist trail to attract visitors and a business trail to attract companies.
