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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Is it available to download I have been after one of these for ages after seeing they were actually based there.

So....you're on a loose tether in the tail gunner's position of a B-25, the camera's a Nikon D850 using an F1.4 35mm lens.....(?)

Phantastic Phantoms! Those paints are great, indeed. Thanks for a wonderful post!
Just as a side note, those intakes are a great, and very quiet, place for taking a short nap late at night. With the engines shut down, naturally
They're the perfect size for a slender young Marine, and if you make sure your feet are pulled in, you're virtually invisible from the outside.
Thanks again for a wonderful post!

Hmmmm, the background plane is out of focus, but the water is in focus which is further away. Alternative reality?

More Phenominal Phantoms!
I think I'm going into Phantom overload!
Not that I'm complaining, mind. Our Phlyte line at VMFAT-101 had over 32 Phantoms in it's heyday. Granted, they all had the same paint job, and they were all covered in the usual Marine Dirt coating (what in Yuma isn't covered in dust anyway?), as well all the usual Phantom leaks, which attract the dust even more, but they were ours...
Thanks for some great pictures of some really good paints. A little clean for real Marine planes, unless they're at an air show, but hey...

LOL!!
VMFA-232. They were my last squadron's "sister" squadron. We called them "Two-Thirty-Stupid". Inter-squadron rivalries and all that. They and VMFA-333, with whom I was stationed my last year in, would rotate their det's to Iwakuni from Beautiful Beaufort by the Sea. 6 months at a shot. From Iwakuni, other side trips to Osan, Clark, and so on, as well.
When I went to Iwakuni with "Trip-Trash", as they called us, or Trip-Trey as they called themselves, it was 333's last det to Iwa in Phantoms. When we got back, they started transitioning to the F/A-18's, and I was out of a job.
That picture was probably taken right after 232 got back from, or just before they left for, Iwakuni. Right after the plane recovered from some flight, for sure. The drag chute over the left wing is a give-away. The ordies at the final check area they hit on return do that. They just shut the engines down, as well. The droopy flaps indicate 0 hyd pressure. They got to run through the Iwakuni wash rack as they launched for the return flight. Really nice wash-rack, too. Pressure plate to turn on the huge sprayers, big arcing sprays. Controlled by the aircraft's weight on the pressure plate. The birds almost always got a good thorough wash when they left Iwakuni, and when they got back to Beaufort. And/or before they left on det TO Iwakuni.
That's why '101's birds tended to be a bit dirty.
The Sharpshooters never went on det. 101 was where the pilot/RIO teams got their first taste of ACM, and bombing practice, before going to the Fleet. Heavy, heavy flight schedule, very seldom did they have time to hit the wash rack. LOTS of students to run through the syllabus. Maybe when they came out of an Annual, but that's about it. About the only clean parts of a VMFAT-101 plane were the canopy, and the radome. Amazing amount of metal in the Yuma dust. Any external radio or other electronic antennas outside the plane's body usually got a quick wipe as a plane captain went by on daily's, too.
Thanks again. Another little trip down memory lane
