    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.

Honduras to Nicaragua Flight

Bomber_12th

SOH-CM-2025
Today I continued onto the next leg of my journey with N6787J, which started in Key West and has gone to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and now today Nicaragua. This trip was from the Toncontín Intl. Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras where I had last left off, to the volcanic island of Ometepe, near the city of Managua, Nicaragua, located within Lake Nicaragua. Once again I flew in live time & weather. I saw plenty of rain showers along the way, but managed to skirt between them the whole way.

Previous legs of this journey can be found here:

Toncontín International is one of the hand-crafted airports, and is located in an area which is high above sea level and surrounded by mountains (a bit of a challenge for the Bonanza).











 
There is a whole chain of dormant and active volcanoes strung out in a long line near Managua.

Here is the volcano named Momotombo.



And the nearby volcanic island of Momotombito.



Very near Managua is the large volcanic crater that forms Apoyeque Lagoon and the nearby Xiloa Lagoon can also bee seen.



Overflying the Managua/Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport.





 
The massive volcanic crater of Apoyo Lagoon.





The Mombacho volcano.







Passing the volcanic island of Zapatera, located in Lake Nicaragua, and heading toward the larger volcanic island of Ometepe.

 


The volcano named Concepcion, on the island of Ometepe, and the Maderas volcano in the background.

Unfortunately the last set of screenshots I took landing at and parking at the Ometepe Airport didn't save, but here is the last screenshot that saved before landing.
