    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.

High Sierras' on the "Pacific Crest Trail" (or as near to the trail as I can tell)

My daughter has just hiked a 150 mile section traveling north starting at Timberline Lodge.
Her husband is still "at it" having started on the mexican border.
 
It's hard to believe, but in 38 years of using Microsoft Flight Simulator, I have only flown across the Atlantic twice in the sim (but 32 times in real life!). Last night I completed my second trans-Atlantic FS flight.

Using the Cessna 404 Titan, I had already flown a series of flights across Canada (from Victoria, BC to Goose Bay, Labrador). So, I decided to make the crossing via Greenland and Iceland. My final touchdown was into my old home of Inverness, Scotland. (see below). I might just make this a round the world flight for the next while.

This is one of the nicest flying jets in my hangar. It really is a nice cross-country jet too. I installed a 50k autopilot system in it. Works great! That being said you don't want to see my monthly fuel bill! This jet burns around 600 gph at FL250. I did a night flight from LAX to SFO. I fixed the cockpit lighting so now it's a pleasure to fly at night.
