    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.

Fictional USMC repaints of the IRIS F-20 Tigershark

I recently revisited the freeware IRIS F-20 Tigershark and liked it. After some research I found that Northrop did try to interest the USN with the F-20 as a potential aggressor aircraft to replace the F-5's. Here are two fictional VMFT-401 (the USMC aggressor squadron) Tigersharks. Re designated as the F-20N for the single seat and F-20M as the two seater. Uploaded to here today.

So they changed their name!
I was with '401 from the day they stood up. Actually, 2 weeks before ops actually started. I am a Plank Holder.
Back then, they were the Snipers. Had the name in big cyrillic letters in the hangar's upper floor hallway, where all the pilots hung out, and all the squadron's, and Israeli's, admin was. Where guys like me very seldom ventured :indecisiveness:
They started out with Kfir's, but a small difference of opinion, and they went away after a couple of years. The Navy changed them over to the F-5's just as I was leaving.
I worked on the one F-5 we got to test, before they transitioned. It was an adventure, sending some pilots off to school, while still trying to keep normal ops up. Especially since they were using Marine Reserve pilots. :dizzy:

Anyway, very nice paints!
