    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.

Having flown these things in advanced flight training, I recall a favorite picture from my time in VT-22 at NAS Kingsville, Tx.

The photo was taken during an open house / family day in the summer of 1966. The lady in the cockpit was my then-new wife; it was pretty windy that day.

The right side is partly covered with a poster containing information on the airplane and its use in training for those not familiar with the details.

The open house encompassed VT-22, VT-23 and VT-24 static displays. This Cougar belonged to VT-22. VT-24 had a TF-9J, VT-23 an F11F as I recall.
