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: Sentinel Owners and
Pilots Association
Welcome to the Sentinel Owners and Pilots Association home page.
The organization provides information and support to owners, pilots
and enthusiasts of the Stinson L-5 "Sentinel", also affectionately
called the "Flying Jeep" and sometimes known by the designations
O-62, OY-1, OY-2 and U-19. The L-5 is a true "warbird" that was
manufactured for the USAAF by the Stinson Division of the
Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft Corporation from December 1942 through
the end of 1945. There are currently about 140 examples of this
venerable plane flying in the world today and more are being
restored every year.
