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.

I got to marshal in and throw the chocks on the real bird when it came through KBTV for customs back ten years ago or so. Steve Hinton was flying her back from an airshow in Bagotville PQ. I had to loan Steve a buck for the soda machine since he only had Canadian money with him. Gave me the USAF Heritage Flight patch off his flight suit as recompense. Still got it in a box somewhere.

Zsolt, could you possibly upload any of those Sabre repaints when they're completed?
As indicated by the name on the canopy rail, the "Skyblazers"-painted Sabre is currently owned by Doug Matthews, as part of his Classic Fighters of America warbird collection. He has an additional, former RCAF, Sabre under restoration to fly as well, which may just be ready next year.

- Time-to-climb to 9,000 meters (approximately 30,000 feet) - 18 minutes

That's a smashing paint too Zsolt though I notice the hard-point problem with it. The LH hard-point is highly polished but the RH one looks painted. This has been reported on the F-86 repaint thread at Milviz (months ago) but no one has responded. I don't usually fly with drop tanks so hadn't seen it until yesterday on paint done for the non-reflective model (G-SABR).
I gather it's possible to make both hard-points polished but not painted. Odd but true!
