    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.

B-50 "Lucky Lady II" Screenshots

At the risk of over-populating the release thread, here are some screenshots of "Lucky Lady II", one of the included paint schemes with Manfred Jahn's wonderful B-50. Though I've seen a number of B-29's over the years, this is the only B-50 I've ever seen in person (though only the fuselage), which is owned by the Planes of Fame Air Museum - they also own a set of KC-97 wings, which could eventually be joined to the B-50 fuselage if they ever restore it for display. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Lady_II

I love absolutely everything about this production, and thank you again to the team that made it happen and so generously gifted it to the community.

A very apt study of a beautiful subject. I've just had this model up for a few stretched out circuits, and I've got to say; I love everything about it.

A big thanks to Mr's Jahn, Wolfgang, Roth, and any others who shared in the (blood, sweat & tears) it's taken to create this B-50 package.

The combination of big visual, big noise, and solid physics left me with the distinct impression that the 'Fort was whispering in my headset, "C'mon, take me up to angels thirty, I'll show you what flying's all about." (You know how to whistle, don't ya?)

"......Well.....next time, baby. Let me just work out a flight plan and it's a date."

A generous share of a compelling and convincing rendering. Ghost of the B-50 lives on in the electric ether. How lucky are we?

Thanks again (too) for the superb images, Mr. Terrell. It's all labour of love, isn't it.
 
The Real Lucky Lady II....I think

Found the front part of her fuselage at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino.....hope they are able to restore her one day.......šŸ™
