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: Prairie Aviation Museum

The Prairie Aviation Museum in Bloomington, Illinois, says on its website its stated purpose is to "create an environment in which to learn about the contributions of aviation to our community and nation, broaden the scope and structure of the Prairie Aviation Museum spanning over 100 years of flight, to collect, preserve, and display aircraft and related items, keeping alive the story of flight, and to have visitors feel educated, entertained, and inspired." If you don't live close by, you can check it out here.
