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: Short Wing Piper Club
Short Wing Piper Club members share a common dedication to the enjoyment, flying, preservation, restoration and maintenance of five of Piper?s finest aircraft – the Piper Vagabond, Clipper, Pacer, Tri-Pacer and Colt. SWPC Members enjoy the use of a free lending library offering technical information, books, videos, an extensive collection of tools, plus the ability to take advantage of discounted parts and even free product drawings for such items as LED Landing and Taxi lights, Vortex Generator kits, and aircraft batteries, to name but a few. Our members participate in online forums dedicated to sharing social, technical, safety, and general aviation related information. They also participate in reviewing and commenting on FAA airworthiness concerns prior to the issuance of Airworthiness Directives (AD?s) or other official action affecting safety and operations of these aircraft. The SWPC sponsors scholarships in aviation related studies to qualifying applicants through its Education
Foundation, financed in part by an online store that offers unique merchandise geared to the SWPC enthusiast. The SPWC also has the most extensive set of technical data available in the world for the five Short Wing aircraft types, all available to our members.
