    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.

Sweet Swiss Air Force Video

That was a wild video just for the camera angles, not to mention the flying. Crazy shot at 3:15 when the guy goes inverted over a mountain and drops the nose. :eek:
 
thanks for the link.

that last shot w/ the F5 dropping inverted through the cloud hole is just too cool.

Great video. I got to meet a few of those pilots a couple years ago. Sometimes, due to various budget and aircraft availibility issues, the SAF sends some of thier prospective FA-18 pilots to the US for training. In this case they were training with VFA-125, the Hornet (C/D) training squadron at Lemoore, CA. It makes watching such a video a tiny bit more special.

Love Evanescence! That entire CD is pretty good stuff.
 
Thanks for the link...that is a great video. The camera angles were amazing....and to get to see the F-5 in flight....took my breath away. The F-5 is such a striking aircraft, and one of my favorite jets.

Well, I think I have been inspired to fire up the old Alpha Sim F-5s and cut some canyons in CFS2.

Wow! Hawker Hunter in flight. Such a beautiful jet! The Brits had some very very sharp designs in the 50s and 60s. Hunter, Swift, Sea Hawk....

Well, got to through a load of laundry in then fire up CFS2 and take to the skies in my Hunter.
