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.
Candler Field
Museum
The Candler Field Museum was established to recreate the old
Atlanta airport as it existed in the 1920's and 1930's. The museum
will consist of several buildings: The American Airways Hangar -
This building was completed in September, 2008 and is now open to
the public. It is the first museum building to be built. Inside,
the museum's collection of airplanes, cars, clothing and other
items relevant to the era are displayed. In addition, the new
Barnstormers Grill is also open with room enough for parties,
banquets and corporate events. The Jack Barbery Research Library
will open soon. The Museum Restoration Shop is now operational
where visitors can see the restoration of various aircraft by
museum volunteers.
Under Construction: The Candler Field Terminal, the Doug Davis
and Beeler Blevins Hangars, and the Eastern Air Transport
Hangar.
