    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.

AD-5W and AD-5N pics of CVG-17 1957 Med cruise?

So I've got enough information for multiple planes for accurate paint jobs for almost all the planes in CVG-17 on CVA-42 for the med cruise of 9/1957-3/1958. But I can't find any for the planes of VA(AW)-12 Det. 37 AD-5W's (7XX) or VA(AW)-33 AD-5N's (8XX). I've spent hours searching Google for various terms, I have the cruise book, but basically nothing.

I have at least a couple I think accurate Modex/BuNo. combos for a couple AD-5N's but no color scheme, and nothing for the AD-5W's. Anyone have any ideas on where I can find some good intel?

Tail would have AL on it.

Thanks,

Tom

Edit: I do know they are gull gray over white... but that's it. No marking info or squadron colors.
