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: Classic Fighters And Omaka Aerodrome 

Classic Fighters is more than just an airshow, their philosophy being to provide visitors with three full days of family entertainment. Certainly, the aviation theme dominates that entertainment but with strong interaction with vehicles, set pieces and ground theatre. Comparisons are inevitably made with other airshows, but it is their goal to provide some of the appeal of those events but with a distinctly different and unique Marlborough flavor.
