Aero-Linx!
04.01.06 'Special' Edition: 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.
Recently, 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.
There are A LOT of truly valuable resources out there... from
pages devoted to nearly every kind of aircraft imaginable, to some
well-thought-out blogs, to the official websites of such
organizations as AOPA, EAA, and NAFI -- you name it and its
probably out there.
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: Aero-News April 1st Special Editions
A group of talented, dedicated, and thoroughly
freakin' loony aero-writers hone their comedic talents and
vent their pent-up frustrations at various aero-issues once a year.
(They spend the remaining 364 days convincing their targets
that, c'mon, it was just a joke.) Savor the best... the
worst... and the "whah the...?" of Aero-News' past April 1st
Special Editions. Aero-Collect them all!
