    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.

Boeing C-135 pack.

Great package, Thank you. Something to consider, would be nice to also have an older KC-135 with the original (smaller) engines.
 
To accurately simulate the A model, you'd need to have the ability to use water injection for heavy takeoff loads. The J57P-59W turbojets (not fans - there was no bypass) were poor low altitude performers and required augmentation to get heavy loads off the ground. The tank for the water was in a narrow space between the main gear wells. Birds on the alert pad in winter had to have external power running on them any time the weather was below freezing. Heater elements in the tank kept the water from freezing.
