Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Thank you all for your replies!
One of the interesting little coincidental things about this that I found while making the repaint...The aircraft's name of course was inspired by the movie, "Tall in the Saddle", which came out in 1944. Ella Raines was the star of that movie, opposite John Wayne. Ella Raines, after the war, married famed P-51 pilot/leader/ace Robin Olds. (Their daughter, Christina Olds, wrote a well known book about her dad's military service and has given talks about her dad's military exploits at airshows and military events in recent years.)

The full "Hangar 11 Collection" assembled at Compton-Abbas airfield (the P-40 and Hurricane are currently for sale through Platinum Fighter Sales, and a Russian Mk.IX Spitfire is currently under restoration to fly).
