    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.

Milviz UH-1H AI Sea Trials Video

A quick video of the Milviz UH-1H approach/landing/departure practice on the Visby Class Corvette. It handles quite well for landing on a deck this size. Also, please note the jerkiness of the video, this again due to the video processing. The flight was actually super smooth without the video programs running.

Geez! That thing appears to be haulin' the mail!

Jeff, nice video, and I am happy to hear the Huey sounds. Now, do you think you will repeat that with the Dauphin?
 
My first hop in a helo was at Pensacola (don't remember which field, exactly) as a Midshipman in a Huey just like that. The master caution and fire warning lights were on the vertical instrument panel, as I recall, and they lit up (!) while I had the cyclic/collective. I remember that the pilot instructor immediately took over and put us down in someone's back yard. Then another Huey came in a picked us up. The homeowner seemed very understanding, and offered to call someone for us if we needed it (AAA?). It seemed like this sort of thing happened all the time. This was in 1983, and the helos dated back to the Vietnam era...and were Army cast-offs, apparently. This is how DoD stretches its budget.

EDIT: Great flying, Storm, and thanks for bringing back some fun memories!
