    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.

"..don't need no M'fn snakes on no M'fn plane" - from some horrible film...

on another note - this is a damn fine FSX aircraft, if you haven't already - you should just go get it

Taking requests?
Knowing that a Marine(Semper Fi!) version is likely to be in your mix, I'd really like to see the '70s MCAS Beaufort bird(#064/9064/39064). I spent quite a few hours in the back of that one.

Those are the only photos I could find depicting the Bicentennial paint job. I'd attempt it myself, but, I KNOW I couldn't do it near as well as you can John. :salute:...Don
 
Very nice model, and an excellent paintkit too! Thank you, Manfred!







still need to find those door hinges though...

Hi Don , I certainly would enjoy a "70s MCAS Beaufort bird" . I spent my last two years(68-69) in the Marine Corps at MCAS Beaufort as a 6511-Aviation Ordinance although they sent me to school in Norfolk to work on SATS loaders(forklift looking piece of equipment with a long boom on it and low to the ground to get under the wings of the AC). I was in HMS-32 .

Sorry for the rambling , didn't mean to hijack your thread .

Semper Fi ,:salute:

Thank you Manfred and team for this beauty. I'll simply reiterate all of the above sentiments. Bravo. :salute:

I've been on another track for a few months and haven't painted any aircraft, but this one is just too good to overlook. Jankees, is there an actual paint kit or are we using the existing textures as a start?
