HelicopterLinks.com main purpose
is to provide an easy-to-navigate website linking
you
to helicopter (OEM) manufacturers, piston helicopters,
(as well as gyros, kit helicopters,
VTOL, air cars, and other miscellaneous flying machines),
helicopter trade shows, helicopter
air
shows, helicopter
magazines,
helicopter museums, and helicopter organizations.
In addition, there is a limited helicopter glossary
and a limited helicopter quote section.
HelicopterLinks.com is located in San Diego, California,
United States of America.
The design of each web
page allows a worldwide view of Helicopter topics:
Each web page on HeliciopterLinks.com lists helicopter
information by continent, worldwide, typically
listed in alphabetical order—on
one page. This makes it easy (and fast)
to see an entire helicopter category—worldwide—with
one click and scroll of the mouse. Some pages of
this site have multiple helicopter categories.
How to navigate this site:
Click
on the helicopter topic(s) in the dark blue column on the left, to find their
respective pages of information. Each
topic is listed by continent, worldwide,
on
one page.

messages
and

Twitter is a social
networking tool. It's a mico-blog. Twitter allows you to keep in touch with
what
your friends are doing, collegues, companies, or movie stars or others. Twitter
messages are 140 characters or less, so any Twitter message you receive will
be short one.

via your email.
What is a RSS feed?

Flat website design:
HelicopterLinks.com flat website design makes it
easy for user navigation and makes it difficult
to get lost on this site.
 Some websites are designed
to force internet users to
drill
down into several
layers of a site to find information or not find
information. Drilling down into a site not only frustrates
the user, it
also wastes
time. HelicopterLinks.com does
not force you to drill down into it's site.
Link to HelicopterLinks.com:
If you you like HelicopterLinks.com, please link
HelicopterLinks.com from your site to the HelicopterLinks.com
site. I have some word usage and graphics which
you can use to make it easier to place a HelicopterLinks.com
link on your site. See the Contact page
for more information.
Site Updates:
Each link is hand checked and we search for new helicopter
sites and helicopter events worldwide, monthly. Please recommend a helpful link.
You do not have to be an owner or manager of a helicopter company to
recommend a link. You can recommend a link if you work for a company or are simply
a helicopter enthusiast. If you prefer, you don't have to sign your name to a
link
suggestion.
If your favorite (or obvious)
helicopter organization is not listed, this is why:
Most of the information on HelicopterLinks.com is taken from each helicopter
manufacturer's (or helicopter organization's) website. If HelicopterLinks.com
is incomplete then we might not be able to find the site.

Ability of site to
be translated into any language:
HelicopterLinks.com is a text based site. This means the entire site can be translated
into many languages using virtual translation sites.
Even
more information about HelicopterLinks.com:
We do not claim to
have a complete listing of links for each helicopter topic listed. However,
this site is updated by hand and each link is double-checked
for accuracy.
HelicopterLinks.com main focus is on piloted helicopter links. There
is some cross over linking to tiltrotor, VTOL, gyroplanes and other
flying machines; however, we do do not link to unmanned air vehicles
(UAVs).
Web Best Practices:
Some Web Best Practices as seen on this site
include: Focusing on easy-to-use navigation
for the user, appropriate and up-to-date
information,
no "under
construction" pages, making no wild claims, and using
web technology which will least likely break down on the majority
of computers being
used today. The technology of HelicoptersLinks.com is XHTML,
CSS (using global style
sheets), Alt & Title tags, I use no JavaScript (making
it less difficult to break my site) and custom error pages.

This website is subject to change
at anytime. This is a privately run helicopter appreciation
site.
We are as objective
and nonpartisan as possible on this site.
We are not liable for any perceived harm to
any organization or company due to our lack
of information, arrangement of links, broken
links, links which direct you incorrectly to
somewhere else on the web and/or accidentally
misrepresent one organization for another organization.
If
we shorten a company name it is only due to
space requirements. If we have a bad link
it is only a "typo" (a typing mistake)
and not intentional. In addition, we have seen
websites go off-line from several days to several
months and then magically
reappear. We sometimes leave links
on this site for several weeks (or months) in
case an organization is having technical difficulties.
Any
other misinformation is a "typo" or
an editing mistake and we will make corrections
as quickly as possible when mistakes are brought
to our attention.
 Why
not take a second and send
us an email?
Please feel free to email
us with any corrections or additions. If you
are frustrated that a link is *not* on here,
then why not take
a second and send an email informing
us
of an
obvious or obscure website that you know about.
Thanks.
We accept emails
from anyone in an effort to keep
this
site current.
We will
try
to accommodate
all
link requests and will link as
many
helicopter related organizations and events
to this site. We also make no blanket promises
that we will add your link to this site.

If you have read to this part, I probably
don't need to explain why I provide
this site online. Most will know.
I love helicopters.
