  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Emergency beach landing - what type of aircraft is this?

Ooh, that wing flex on touchdown made me wince. Very good flying there, though. Well done to him! Not tipping it over on a coarse gravel beach deserves even more kudos... I'm not so sure about carrying it up the cliff, though!

Was a 317, but now fitted with a Rotec Radial and somehow referred to being a 315!

I was at Bodmin all day and saw it arrive and depart. Pilot is an old flying friend of mine (we fly to fly Austers and Cubs together) and I'm sure he knew what he was doing!

That really did take skill. The shingle west of Jacob's ladder at Sidmouth is very deep and it's a miracle he didn't nose over. Watch as they pull him out; the wheels are inches (cms!) into it!
