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: Capital Hang Gliding and Paragliding
Association
The Capital Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (CHGPA),
founded in 1974, is a non-profit association dedicated to the
growth, safety, and solidarity of the sports of hang gliding and
paragliding. CHGPA is an exciting, active organization of about 150
members, most of whom live in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding
suburban areas of Maryland and Virginia. Pilots, family members,
and non-flying hang gliding enthusiasts comprise their membership.
They regularly hold fun and informative meetings at which everyone,
members and non-members alike, is welcome. The CHGPA is an official
chapter of our national organization, the United States Hang
Gliding Association (USHGA). CHGPA also organizes many exciting
events each year; fly-ins, competitions, glider displays,
out-of-town flying trips, seminars, and parties all provide
opportunities to meet many new friends and learn more about hang
gliding and paragliding.
