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: Air Sports Net

Air Sports Net first appeared on the Internet back in 1999 with a set of hang gliding and paragliding links sorted by directories. It was not long before the site had a couple of hundred links and 50 visitors a day. Today they claim over 1600 links and over 12,000 visitors a day and still growing. They serve interest to most air sports including hang gliding, paragliding, powered parachuting, powered paragliding, skydiving and ultralight aircraft.
