    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Roger Wilco66, Rami and Tom Stovall are at Oshkosh enjoying the airshow. Here is a teaser of what we have seen.


 
TOM!! i sat here all day waiting for you to pick me up for our flight to Oshkosh,i juuuuust don't understand why you left me behind..................sighs.......LOL...the night Bud called me to tell me he wouldnt be back from the show until sunday and would miss the celebration for my dad,i asked him when he was coming by to take me with him...he didn't say anything for a few long seconds,then he slowly says,well Dave,ill let you know....lol...

hey if you see this before leaving,find him and tell him yer a friend of mine...see what he says...tell him dave the fat guy in the power wheelchair...i say it to him on the phone and he will always reply..yes dave,i know who you are...all dead pan like..lol....i keep waitin for him to say...dave?..daves not here man.....lol
 
Nice shot Tom, but I'm actually looking forward to a picture of the 3 of you. Rami already posted a picture in the CFS2 forums, showing him after just one day Oshkosh...... :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
Huub
 
I heard they have an area for seaplanes including the Hawaii Mars, sure would like to see that area.

Moses03,

Yeup...that's the one I saw today during the airshow...she's a beaut!

Huub,

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reestablish contact with either Stovall or Roger Wilco. I tried to arrange them seeing my cousin in I fly in the Ford Trimotor, and I left a message on his phone to that effect, but we never crossed paths again or made further contact, and I'm off to see Lambeau Field and then head down to Germanfest in Milwaukee tomorrow.
 
Thanks for the video link, as I've never seen one of those fly. Now, if A2A would make an expansion pack for their T-6...hmmm. ;)
 
Thats a pity Rami as we haven't that much possibilities to meet fellow members face-to-face. But I'm convinced you will have a great time any way!

Enjoy it!

Huub

Thanks guys, it is absolutely great here. I have never seen anything like this before. Such a large assembly of flying warbirds, unbelievable. I also flew with the B18 Aluminum Overcast two days ago. What a great experience.

@ huub: we are working on a photo of us.

Cheers,
Mark
 
There are a few look-alike P-64's flying around, built from T-6 airframes, but the EAA's example is one of only two true/original surviving P-64's, and it is great to see it flying again (the only other original example is mounted to a pole outside a museum in Peru).
 
BTW, for those who were hoping to see the A-20 Havoc at Oshkosh (as it was planned to attend), unfortunately on the flight to Oshkosh early this past week, it had an engine failure about 100-miles out from Oshkosh. It was able to safely make it into a nearby airport, but was scratched from attending.

Pretty cool that there were four Skyraiders in attendance this year, and three F-86's (there were supposed to be four, but I heard one had to drop out last minute - the same one that used to be at Duxford and was supposed to debut at Oshkosh last year). The photos/video of the newly restored Mig-17 flying at Oshkosh are pretty sweet too. The restoration of Pat Harker's (C&P Aviation's) massive Stinson L-1 was finished just before Oshkosh, and it has to be one of the top contenders for the WWII Grand Champion Award (it is only now the second flying example in the world - Kermit Weeks of course is the owner of the other one). There is also a very nice newly restored rear swivel-gun and practice bomb-toting Pensacola-marked SNJ-5, the Collings Foundation's original Temco TF-51D, and the Tri-State Warbird Museum's RNZAF combat-vet P-40M, all debuting at Oshkosh this past week, and all capable of winning some awards.

Say hi to my old neighborhood for me. I grew up two blocks away from Lambeau Field on Thorndale. Great place to be a kid.
