    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.

Been thinking of having a crack at the P80 for a long time now.
Its a bag of modeling pitfalls but its such a beautiful old aeroplane!
Long way to go!

We used to have a Lockheed T-33A here on field owned by the late Captain George Lancaster who later sold the T-33A for his A-26 Invader. I helped maintain the T-33A for a while, learned lots about the airframe. Hated to see her go when he sold it.
 
Ooh, anxious to see this one, Rob! Love that your awesome planes cover the 40's-60's era so well. So many great designs in those days.
 
Now that's a great looking Dinky toy ! Thanks a lot, Rob ! Looking forward to it ! :encouragement:

Nostalgia in Optima forma !

I still remember the old Lindberg kit from back in the '50s. Was one of the first plastic models I built as a young teenager.

Yeah, tell me about it, Don. Twas mine too. We were happy little boys then, weren't we. Imagine no telephones, no 'social media', just the Lindberg Line, Revell and Monogram (later) from the shop of dreams round the corner. ;)

Yep, that's the one!

Those were the days!

And Rob does such a fine job of replicating these early jets for us. Thank You, Rob.
