  • 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.

    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.

I need one of these in both 'lizard' and 'ghost' schemes.

Wow, Dave!!
Thanks for some time walking down Memory Lane!

My last squadron while I was Active Duty was VMFA-333. Our "sister" squadron was VMFA-232. We called them Two Thirty Stupid :biggrin-new:
I got out just as 333 was transitioning to the F/A-18's. I just did NOT want to be deployed 8 months, or more, per year.

Then, after I got out, I went to work for VMFAT-401. Actually, I went to work for 401 while I was on Terminal Leave. Nice drawing 2 paychecks at a time!
The only thing was, at the time they first stood up (I am a Plank Holder with 401), 401 was flying Kfirs, an Israeli plane. We had Israeli workcenter supervisors, American pilots, and American worker-bees (me :D ). It was kinda interesting, interfacing with another culture, language (I actually learned a fair amount of Hebrew!), and so on. We HAD to be finished, and gone, by sunset every day, and especially on Friday, arguments were loud and very vociferous, things like that.
They did introduce the aircraft shelters you now see everywhere. I had never seen one until then. As far as I know, it was an Israeli innovation. They were really a good thing in the desert of Yuma. What a difference, not having to worry about getting a second degree burn just by touching a plane's surface with bare skin during the afternoon. That is no exaggeration, either. It happened all the time in Yuma, especially with newby Plane Captains.
They spread like a wildfire throughout the Corps, then the rest of the services.
Just as I departed for a better paying job with the Aerostat program, they were transitioning to the F-5's. I didn't get to work on them a lot, but I got some time. They were a maintenance dream, they really were. Very easy to work on.

Anywho, thanks for the pics, Dave. Great memories.
Pat☺
