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: American Helicopter Museum
The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center is the
nation's premier aviation museum devoted exclusively to
helicopters. They collect, restore and display historic aircraft
and chronicle the origin and development of rotary wing aircraft.
Through their library's continually growing collection of
documents, artifacts, films, memoirs and research the Museum serves
as an important source of public information about rotary wing
aircraft.
Appropriately, the Museum is located in suburban Philadelphia,
where two of today's major helicopter manufacturers have their
roots, and where much of the earliest development of helicopters in
the US took place. Currently, the Museum displays over 35 civilian
and military helicopters, autogiros and convertaplanes. The
exhibits span the history of rotary wing aircraft from the earliest
helicopters to the latest addition to our nation's defense, the
V-22 Osprey.
