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: Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia

The Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia (AAAA) is a growing and diverse organization of members from a broad range of backgrounds, who all have one thing in common - a passion for aviation. Formed in 1974 by a group of aircraft owners and enthusiasts the AAAA filled the need for an Association to represent the interests of owners of old airplanes at a time when aircraft were being exported or forced out of the air by heavy Government charges. The most important role of the Association has been to give owners and enthusiasts a unified voice with which to speak to Government instrumentalities.
