    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.

It's always stunning to see one of those flying - structurally, a perfect replica/reproduction of the original, and fitted with GE CJ610 jet engines (housed in original-design cowlings). That one of course is owned by Airbus Group and operated by the Messerschmitt Foundation, based at Manching, Germany, while two other flying examples are based in the US with the Military Aviation Museum (Virginia Beach) and Collings Foundation (Houston). The CJ610 engines are capable of producing more thrust than the original Jumo engines, so they're operated with restricted power. All three originally began construction at the Texas Airplane Factory (Herbert Tischler), before moving to Legend Flyers at Paine Field in Washington where they were completed and test flown.

Yes John and how it can be ignored by Microsoft as a milestone in aviation is beyond me.

Alas M$ is avoiding the warbirds, but if they should find a way to honor either the Heinkel He 178 or maybe the Gloster E.28/39 instead, at least neither of them were armed.
