    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.

In November 1946 a USAAF C-53 Skytrooper aircraft crashed in bad weather onto the Gauli Glacier in Switzerland. The subsequent rescue of the 12 on board was the world’s 1st alpine air rescue & made headlines around the world. The aircraft later disappeared deep under thick snow & ice. With glacial changes (melting etc) the crashed aircraft began to re-appear some 70 years later. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.NB: Smithsonian RL footage https://dai.ly/x6sn4hs
