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.

Recently, 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: Strategic Air And Space Museum

Located in the heart of former SAC territory, near Ashland, NE, the museum was originally named the Strategic Aerospace Museum, renamed Strategic Air Command Museum and now known as the Strategic Air and Space Museum. Housed in a 300,000 sq ft facility is our nation’s past, present and future relating to SAC, of course and aviation in general. Along with the aircraft and missile displays are interactive games for kids, educational classes for adults. The restoration area is also open for public viewing of the current birds in progress.
