Aviation:

• Landings.com is the new home of the old acro.harvard.edu General Aviation Information Page. This is a great site, tail number lookup service (Mar 96) for US and British registered civil aircraft, can search for owner name, serial number, etc. Several databases are here - FAA registered airmen, aircraft, aviation medical examiners, and much much more is here now. (select the search page for these features) Also, airman written test info, etc. MANY links to FAR's, Search utilities, NTSB reports, airworthiness alerts, the AIM, SDR's, pilot guides, GPS stuff, etc etc. Definately worth checking out!
• There is an older N number database - the data here is reportedly several years old, but it is still useful as a backup site. (but I think it's now offline).
• For a pretty wide range of aviation related news, check out the AV-Web WWW site.
• FlyThere is an aviation site I just found, looks interesting.

• JUMP RUN! manifesting software is now sold and supported by DZ TOOLS. (Hi Glenn)

• Perris isn't my favourite DZ, but they have an example of a pretty nice DZ web page.
• Elsinore at least used to be a really friendly and fun DZ. Elsinore has a new web page, but it uses some "Flash" browser Plug-In, with stupid sounds, slow graphics and links that don't work. But a great example of a bad web page!
