    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.

FSX Screenshots Here!!

What if....

In 1989 the cold war was as good over. Many USAF units left Europe or were inactivated. Defence budgets were dropping and although Soesterberg AB dated back to 1913 and was the first airfield of the Royal Netherlands Air Force, it was closed in 2008. The National Military Museum is located at the former Air Base, but many building have disappeared and the secret buildings from the cold war are suddenly public.

So the CR at the tail is unlikely, but with the events of the past year we might see USAF fighter operating from Dutch air bases again.

So just for fun a "what if".
