    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.

Yes, the long-time home of the Frasca family's warbirds. Spitfire Mk.XVIII TP280 used to be based/flown from there, until it was sold several years ago to Hangar10/Air Fighter Academy in Germany. The Frasca family's Wildcat and P-40E still remain based/flown from C16, and the family owns another Spitfire Mk.XVIII, HS653, that has been under restoration in California.

Spitfire Mk.IX MJ730, as seen in the screenshots, is based at the incredible Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but there hasn't been a detailed version of that airfield produced yet (it would be amazing if it were! - art deco hangars, WWI hangars, a genuine WWII English control tower, a genuine WWII Luftwaffe hangar, grass runway, etc...).
 
Can I make a suggestion to the powers that be, it should be required that when someone posts an image of an aircraft in a sim, you should ALWAYS include the name of the model and who made it? Give credit where its due and give us a clue as how we can find it.
