    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.

The original "My Darling Dorothy" was actually a Spitfire PRXI that served with the USAAF 7th Photo Reconnaissance Group in England in 1944. These unarmed and modified Spitfires flew high altitude recce flights over mainland Europe from bases in Southern England. One of these aircraft flew an unescorted mission all the way to Berlin and back in March 1944. This weekend I was at the amazing Battle of Britain airshow at the Imperial War Museums Duxford airfield. One of my favourite warbird aircraft taking part was the Aircraft Restoration Company's Spitfire PR Mk XI Spitfire. This aircraft has very recently been painted in the colours of "My Darling Dorothy" and she looked superb yesterday. So on my return I took the Flying Irons Mk 9 in those markings up for a flight!

TF-104 N824NA seen here this evening over the high desert on a mission from Edwards Air Force Base. Starfighter '824' was originally delivered to the German Air Force and served with various units between 1963 and 1975 when she was flown back to the USA for use by NASA as a chase aircraft. Retired in 1985 she can be seen today as a static exhibit at the Estrella Warbird Museum at Paso Robles Airport.
