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: Missions Made Possible

Missions Made Possible is a non-profit agency that provides life guard and emergency relief flights for those in need of sudden transportation due to unfortunate health problems. We are in a position to provide emergency response to cancelled flights due to weather or mechanical difficulty, and we are able to provide flights with very short notice. Our "Life Guard" flights include transportation of transplant patients and/or patients with life threatening events. Our "Humanitarian Missions" provide support and aid to emergency areas including transportation of blood plasma, medical supplies and/or emergency response personnel. Our mission is to provide transportation to ambulatory patients throughout the South East United States on a emergency basis. We intend to maximize the above efforts through the use of several aircraft and volunteer pilots and support personnel where possible. Our company seeks donations from the public through speaking engagements, fundraisers and through our website to meet the needs of these missions. Through the donation of funds and corporate support, we will be able to fill more requests for these emergency flights, thus helping more people.
