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: Lee Bottom Fly-In

The Annual Lee Bottom Fly-In is this coming week, and it behooves us to note that this is one of ANN's favorite events of the year. The Lee Bottom Flying Field is home to the regions favorite antique & classic fly-in. Called "Wood, Fabric, & Tailwheels", the name says it all. With models like Staggerwing, Great Lakes, Stearman, Swallow, and Tiger Moths the line up is sure to please every enthusiast. Held the last Saturday of every September, the event is open to everyone. Intended to be a relaxed event for pilots, the gathering filled a void that your typical county airport fly-in could not. Beautiful scenery, great planes and wonderful people mixed to create something special.
