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.

Society
The Heinlein Society exists to preserve the legacy renowned
writer Robert Anson Heinlein left us in novels, essays, speeches,

We intend in Heinlein's words to "PAY IT FORWARD," since we can
never pay back the benefits we got from him, by spreading the
wisdom of Robert Anson Heinlein to others.
The Heinlein Society has established programs to: Place the books

libraries where his juvenile novels may continue to help to form
character and provoke critical and intelligent thinking among our
young people.
- Award scholarships and grants to worthy young people.
- Assist in disseminating the works of Robert Heinlein into new
languages and formats
- Promote annual Heinlein blood drives
