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: Veterans Airlift Command

There are three things the VAC needs:

1. Passengers
2. Piloted Planes
3. Money to keep the program going.

You can help bring families together. You can give something back to the soldiers who sacrificed so much. You can be proud to be an American. The VAC is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are absolutely crucial to maintaining our national network of pilots and aircraft owners, in order to facilitate their missions. Thanks to our lean infrastructure, and the passion of our volunteers, donor dollars go a long way. Our goal is to have each $1 donated to the VAC be worth $10 of air transport.
