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.

Recently, 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: San Diego Aerospace Museum

San Diego Aerospace Museum boasts over 65 aircraft and space vehicles and interactive exhibits. Tours of the restoration area are available. There are also flight simulator rides and education programs. The extensive research library and archives are available by appointment. Scheduled to open in May 2007 is a gallery highlighting women in aviation. The exhibit will be self guided but some of the kiosks will feature stories told by the women featured in the exhibit.
