    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Paiken,

Nope, not on your life. I gladly sacrifice a Cheesehead and a Packers jersey to Tom Brady and Pat the Patriot every year before the opening kickoff. I also burned those clothes when I returned to Boston. :p87:

But you don't disrespect another team's home turf.
 
Danke, Rami :ernaehrung004:


A flightsim / SOH booth sounds like a great idea! Lockheed had flight simulator at Oshkosh for their new T50A jet trainer. Everytime I went by I peeked inside, but that line of people waiting was too long for me. I'm sure a SOH booth with some simulators would be an attraction. Maybe then people wouldn't fall asleep during those boring non-warbird show performances, Tom hear me (happended to me, too)???? :)

Cheers,
Mark
 
Thanks for those Rami, flying in the Tri-Motor must be as close to raw aviation as paying passengers get these days. I have a shade over 14 megapixels to play with, but Roger is obviously using something I need to use more - a tripod. 'Specially when using the tele zoom at full stretch! I notice y'all use a big aircraft wing the way we do in the UK, as an alloy umbrella. :biggrin-new:
 
They worked these two Trimotors very hard, they were constantly in the air all week. Amazing performance for such an oldtimer. From me, too, thanks to Rami for the photos. I'm sure you loved that ride. Next time I'm in 'kosh I'll go for a ride, too!

Cheers,
Mark
 
Great photos and stories, guys!

I think the Tri-Motor operations surprise a lot of first-timers for how much they are used - with the exception of non-flying hours, they are hardly ever on the ground throughout the week. The EAA's Tri-Motor has actually recently just come off of an extensive overhaul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDBQxVTfsao

The other Tri-Motor that EAA is currently using, due to the demand, is on loan to them from the Liberty Aviation Museum (which also has another Ford Tri-Motor under restoration to fly, in addition to the B-25 "Georgie's Gal" and TBM Avenger they operate).
 
Got another Panchito capture, there's also a nice article about the owner here:

Seeing all these pictures brings back fabulous memories of being with Mark and Andrew at Oshkosh. What we need is a SOH booth at Oshkosh each year where we can all gather and talk about flight simulation. I know I am a dreamer but wouldn't that be fun.
