    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.

CDR Flatley received his new Hellcat in May 1943 in the factory 2-tone Intermediate Blue over NS White and 6 position national insignia. Here it is as he received it. It was updated to the tri-color scheme and 4 position national insignia with red surround while in service aboard USS Yorktown in August 1943 before the Marcus Island raid On 31 August. I backed off on the weathering a bit but it was still a workhorse and showed it.

PAN AM Falcon 20....

...with kind permission and a bit of help too from Arild, I have started doing some texturing on his beautifully shaped Falcon 20!

hope to get a few more liveries done, when time permits...:)
here;
 
I had a "Monogram" plastic 1/48th scale model kit of the F6F-3 Hellcat. It had folding wings, sliding canopy, retractable main gear, the tail wheel retracted and extended with a pull of the tail hook. Rotating wheels (if you did it right) and the prop turned. Quite the model indeed.

Yep, had that one too. If you still had that one in the box it'd be worth a pretty penny to collectors.

Is a matter of fact, I do have that Hellcat, in the box. I began some light painting of the engine and interior pieces, but everything is still on the "trees", so to speak. I also have the Monogram F4U Corsair in 1/48 scale as well as the Hawker Hurricane. Both of those kits are untouched.
