    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.

Wow. The plane "appeared to bounce twice" before the impact that collapsed the right main. At 4500 feet, there probably isn't quite enough runway there for that sort of excitement... Glad all aboard got out safe!

 
Interesting. I remember in 2011 Jimmie Johnson's plane departed the runway I believe in Key West, Florida. What is it with Hendrick and aviation?
 
I looked it up and N8JR is a Cessna Citation Latitude (680A). The specs indicate a landing distance of 2480 feet, so there should have been more than enough runway for a safe landing. I do not know what the weather conditions were at the time of the attempted landing, but I have to wonder if a wind gust lofted the jet and kept it from touching down at a safe touchdown distance.
