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: The Airship and Blimp Resources
The Airship and Blimp Resources ("Airship Resources" for short) provide information about airships to both novices and seasoned airship enthusiasts. The main focus is on contemporary development, rather than history. Explore this site and you will see why airships are destined to a bright future. In the five years since the inception of the Airship Resources, I have spent hundreds of hours working on their content. I was initially more interested in gathering information on radio controlled blimps. But some of the contacts and discoveries I made shifted my interest to building and flying manned airships and balloons. Experimental aviation is an absolutely fantastic opportunity. I hope that the Airship Resources will help to spread the construction and operation of amateur-built aerostats around the world. This is also why the Experimental Balloon and Airship Association (EBAA) has its home on this web site.
