    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.

You're my hero, Ron! Absolutely gorgeous, finally someone has made Ship 728, which Donald Douglas personally decorated with a plaque for unprecedented service time of a DC-3! :jump::jump::jump: Thanks a lot, and carry on! Maybe you could also make the prior red feathering? :biggrin-new:

Best regards,
Christian

A hero eh? I don't think I qualify for that title but thanks. :) 'Prior red feathering'? What's that?
 
Interesting. If nobody else does it, I may well revisit the DC-3 but right now I'm trying something else. Strangely, the version I've done isn't on that list of liveries. Why would that be?
 
Ron,
I am pretty sure that your version is/was the final example of Paint Scheme worn on the DC-3 at North Central. (67-69) The earlier Feathered versions were wonderfully stylized schemes. True to the era of Local-Service carriers as the Airlines began to branch out and 'connect' the United States. North Central was a Wonderful airline in its day. I miss the "flavor" and the people those airlines had back then. Deregulation killed them all, and ol' Herman was swallowed-up by Northwest. Gone...but not forgotten.
 
Beautiful paint, Ron. Thanks so much. Especially appreciated by those of use in the service area (in this case Madison, WI). I have seen the iconic photo of the NC DC-3 flying over Madison many times.

Bill
