    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.

    Thank you for your support.

Fiesler Storch Repaint

SOH-CM-2026
During the WWII North African Campaign the Allies captured a dozen or more Fiesler Storch from the retreating German and Italian armies. More than a few were pressed into
service against their former owners. RAF's Air Vice Marshall Harry Broadhurst used one as his personal transport. Others were utilised as liasion and artillery spotters.
The two pictures below show one Storch repainted in USAAF colors. The roundel and the markings of the P-38 in the background suggest this Storch was being used by the 37th
Fighter Sqdn. of the 14th Fighter Group somewhere in Tunisia about late 1943 or early 1944.
