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: Not Plane Jane

The Golden Age of Aviation (1927 thru 1946) has sometimes been called the "Forgotten Years" of aviation. This is the only time in history that the restoration and completion of a propeller collection from this era and to this extent and rarity has even been achieved. A collection like this does not exist anywhere else and will never exist like this. Of the 84 propellers that comprise the entire collection, twenty-six are rare, one of a kind and New-Old Stock (NOS) propellers. These propellers are like finding a time capsule of this period of aviation.
