    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.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Military skins - WWII

Description: Repaint of the Milton Shupe FSX Native PV-2 Harpoon. This repaint represents an aircraft (15-1355) of VPB-130 NAS Whidbey Island, August 1945. VPB-130 spent most of 1943 and the first part of 1944 patrolling the Caribbean and South Atlantic with PV-1 Venturas. In April 1944 they rotated back to the US and after several moves arrived at Ault Field, NAS Whidbey Is in August 1945, where they began transitioning into PV-2 Harpoons. In March 1947 they moved to NAS Miramar where they were the first US Navy line squadron to re-equip with the new P2V-1 Neptune ASW aircraft. Model by Milton Shupe; Repaint and FSX paint kit by Steve Bryant (based on original FS9 paint kit by Nigel Richards with permission).

Thanks for the repaint, Duckie! NAS Whidbey Island was my duty station from 1968-1971.
