    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

Cool Oshkosh videos

Wow! We saw Major "Rocket" Baker everyday performing in the F-16 and in the heritage flight with the P-51D "Baby Duck". Now I found this ultra cool video from inside the cockpit. The heritage flight with the Mustang starts at 14:45. Note how he is panting under the g-loads and how the wings flex and adapt to high angles of attack. Great!



Cheers,

The second video is by yours truly. It's features the F-15 landing and taxiing right in front of me. My ears almost fell off, and it was only idling. The interesting part starts at 0:45.



Cheers,

Great stuff Mark. The Eagle coming right at us is the beginning of my Oshkosh 16 production video. The sounds are fantastic. Just one of the many experiences that makes Oshkosh so very special. Seems everywhere we turned there was a new adventure. Seeing the video of Major Baker from inside the F-16C cockpit just adds another aspect to what is already a great experience. Thanks for sharing. The number of different aircraft is mind boggling. The total for showplanes was 2,855 with 371 being warbirds. The total attendance was 563,000. That sounds like long lines and problems. The way this show is run is awesome. No long lines or problems with crowds. I was informed before attending that this is the way it would be. That is the way it was. The sign on the Oshkosh tower is "World's Busiest Control Tower." During Air Adventure there is no doubt this is true.
 
I've been following that "AirshowStuff" channel for a long time, and they always have fantastic videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/AirshowStuffVideos/videos

For the Phantom guys, here is a great headcam view of the USAF Phantom arrival at Oshkosh (note the minimalist GA avionics mounted to the dash in order to fly in the modern/GA-type controlled airspace). Unfortunately the two USAF Phantoms at Oshkosh, as well as the rest of the remaining USAF Phantom II fleet, are to be blown-up in target exercises very shortly, for which there is currently a petition underway to try and prevent.



This guy has got some great videos from Oshkosh too: https://www.youtube.com/user/airailimages/videos
 
Always a good watch, really like being able to hear the Viper motor and when he went through the detents for 'burner.
