    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.

Navy Chief - you may be familiar with the late Capt Dale "Snort" Snograss - he told a wicked story about Pax. He was the Navy Demo pilot in the F-14 for many years and as such was a "Rock Star" on the airshow circuit. He was "gifted" a Red Ferrari for one season by a rich fan. One day he was racing it round the taxiways at Pax when he was stopped by a Base Cop. He avoided a ticket and "tea without biscuits" with the base CO by allowing the Cop to drive the car round the base at full chat!!
 
Really, the only thing I wish looked different is the color. If it they were red brick, it would be better, but oh well. NAS Pensacola, and Saufley also had the same hangars as Patuxent. Very majestic in my opinion.

I am familiar with the late, great Capt. Snodgrass, but never had the honor of meeting him. I did, however, have the honor and privilege of a F-14A backseat ride, piloted by then Lt. Curt "DohSo" Dose, who was also quite well known in the Tomcat Community.

@Bomber_12th I would appreciate it if you would stop your incessant bashing of Aeroplane Heaven. AH have been a purveyor of fine FS addons for decades now.

Your helpful criticism would be appreciated by the AH team if and when done privately because it would be helpful, but publicly damaging their efforts and therefore their sales is just not on.

I don't think I've been incessant, and I think my criticisms, few and far between, have always been well-founded. I would never "bash" without ample reason to do so. A company that acquires a poorly-executed model, a so-called "B-25J", repackages it as quick as possible for MSFS to get the next flow of money as soon as possible... what do you expect the end result to be? All of us to be a bunch of fanboys, full of admiration? My respect for Aeroplane Heaven goes as far as the respect I've seen them show their products and the community at large. It's not worth offering helpful critiques, as when doing so you're only met by the response, "we model from accurate drawings".
