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: Delaware Valley Historical Aircraft Association
The DVHAA is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to
the preservation and display of the aviation history of the
Delaware Valley. DVHAA members come from all walks of life. Many
are retirees from both the military and commercial sectors. Some
have an aviation background, most do not. But all share a common
interest in the preservation of aviation history. Everyone is
encouraged to spend whatever spare time they find helping build and
maintain museum exhibits, give tours, and work on the aircraft in
our collection. Currently, their exhibit contains 14 aircraft and
nearly 40 display cases with separate focuses on World War One, the
Pitcairn Era, World War Two, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Cold War,
women in aviation, Korea, Southeast Asia, and contemporary aviation
and space exploration. They also feature a history of their ME-262
jet fighter and early jet development.
