    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.

Commander Curtis Dose, USN, Ret.

That's cool, Chief.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away when with VX-1 at Boca Chica, I got a ride in the back seat of an F-4 from our next-door squadron, VF-101.
Flew up to Naples (FL) and back in a whole lot less time than it took in VX-1's SH-3D. 101 was the RAG squadron then.

Yes, Phantoms are awesome rides. I was on one sortie from Pax to Jax, hot refuel, and rtn. Problem was I didn't have one of those piddle packs, and had to pee really bad. By the time we got back to Pax and in the chocks, I was in severe pain! Pretty sure I ran bowlegged to the head in the hangar at record pace.
 
Always good to hear those stories, it sounds like Navy Chief has a lot of good one I'd like to hear :jump:
 
Chief, my F-4 ride wasn't long enough for that to happen. Early sixties at HS-3 Norva we were the first squadron to get the HSS-2 (SH-3A). It had a pee tube that went through the deck and exited the bottom of the fuselage. To use it one had to get up, balance, and stand. One of the most sought-after entries in your logbook was "Remark: Flat Rock P". On cross-country round-robins, occasionally the flight path would include TACAN channel: 80, also known as FLAT ROCK VORTAC, 113.8. Need I elaborate? One flight even had to circle the NAVAID a few times for all the crew to participate.:triumphant:
