Growing Like Crazy!
Since June 1st we've added 455 new manuals to AirCorps Library... Yes, you read that correctly!
Our daily goal is to add 40 new manuals to the site, and you can bet this keeps us busy all day long. The process of taking a paper manual from something you can hold in your hand to a searchable document on AirCorps Library takes a huge number of steps. Plus, each manual needs specific information added to it, such as title, keywords, manufacturer, document number, model numbers, and more. For more information on how this process works, you can check out one of my old blog posts from 2020 titled "Getting Them Live".
With that many manuals being added each day, these blog post with huge lists of linked manuals can get a bit overwhelming. So for June I thought I would do a "best of" post and highlight some of the most generally interesting documents, so enjoy!
