    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.

This scenery package attempts to represent Advanced Landing Ground A-1 of the US 9th AAF. ALG A-1 was one of 29 Advanced Landing Grounds that dotted the Cotentin Peninsula. Construction of this airfield was started 3 days after D-Day on June 9th, 1944 by the 834th Engineer Aviation Battalion. At first it was in service as “ELS A-1 “, an Emergency Landing Strip. It had a 3400x120ft un-tracked (grass/dirt) runway and was used mainly by small observation aircraft. There after it was expanded and enhanced with a 5000x150 foot SMT/PSP runway and 50 dispersal points. The 366th Fighter Group (P-47’s) of the 9th USAAF occupied the airfield on June 17th, 1944. From here the 366th FG (389th FS, 390th FS and 391st FS) mounted close air support to allied troops advancing thorough the bocage country and beyond. The runway was large enough to handle aircraft such as the C-47 and B-26. It was also used by P-38’s, also crucial to the close air support role. The rapid advance of the allies through the Cotentin Peninsula resulted in the landing ground being released back to the local population on September 5th, 1944.

Nice. Now I can set up my new 391st B-26 AI to fly from Matching to here and then back. Maybe have a few spend the night
and a few others do touch-n-goes. But before I can start on that I need to finish the paints. I'm still researching trying to find
nose art for each a/c.

Let me know if the taxi/rwy links give you a problem. To get the correct squared effect of the PSP I had to skinny the links to parking.
