Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

There was a paper proposal for an N-156-34 model with four lift engines as a VTOL trainer. The "Cancelled Aircraft" Facebook image is either AI or Photoshop; the design was written off as carrying too much dead weight outside of takeoff/landing.
Even more interesting was the Northrop N-205/ST-38, which replaced the jet engines with three rocket engines and was designed to be a trainer for the X-20 Dyna-Soar...
