Hi all,

Just wondering what aviation themed websites you like to surf through when you're bored. My two biggies are

Good start to every week:

Chicken Wings Comics – Aviation Comics and Cartoons by Michael and Stefan Strasser

 

[Bartman]

I wasn't expecting that! that's awesome

I frequent supercub.org, and J-3 Cub forums, and occasionally visit the Aeronca and Taylorcraft fora.

I was a member of the Stearman Restoration Society for a year - I had a wing to re-do and then a spar replacement on the leftover damaged wing. Invaluable, but you have to be a member.

My other haunts are model train related - I build my own model steam locomotives, and participate in one forum.

My understanding is that the real activity is Facebook. Not sure I understand why - I had to block my family from including me on Facebook. I like them, but am not interested in pictures of their meals. Yuk.

Does anyone else use a RSS aggregator?

Another term would be RSS Feed Reader.

I can help anyone that ask. This RSS feeder is open all the time and updates each hour. When you middle click your mouse (click the ball down) it opens the page in your default browser. You can also open it in the reader as a new tab.

Here's a screenshot of the reader I'm using:

I've used RSS feeds to generate a news robot posting system to forums but it's been a while so it would take some effort to set that up again. Our members might like it though, a new thread for each news article from sources we use to generate the feed. Ideas?
