    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.

Used to have a Citroen CX in the 70's, what a heap of crap it turned out to be. 7 years old and sent to the scarp yard full of rust. Just about the only thing that never went wrong with it was the fancy suspension. Hate them. put me in a lot of debt and took forever to recover. Just seeing a picture of one puts me in rage mode.

This French one-off from 1928 listen to the name 'Christiane-Huit'; as you can tell, driver safety was minimal at best!

The Christiane Huit is a one-off, built by Angé Andrieux,
an aeroplane builder, which we recognise in construction details.
The name is inspired by his daughter listening to the name Huit,
not his eighth child. Andrieux engaged in Formula-1 races
in 1928. Wings never have been an option. Nor doors.
