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.

It might be one of the most common reactions after returning from AirVenture. "How can I make this work."

It is not enough to know which aircraft they want, they also need to fully understand the used aircraft purchasing process in great detail. Buying a used airplane is a big step, and putting some time aside to understand what you need to look out for will be worth it in the long haul. Here's a good rundown of some of the basic questions you'll need to answer before digging into the pages of Trade-A-Plane.
