    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.

Englishman, & then New Zealander, Sir Francis Chichester (1901-72) is perhaps best known for being the 1st solo yachtsman to sail around the word, for which he was knighted by the Queen. But before that he was a pioneer airman who flew in a tiny aircraft from the UK to Australia – the 2nd person to ever do so. He then became the 1st person to fly from NZ to Australia. There were other pioneering flights after that. Come see how he did the UK to Australia flight. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
