    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.

According to witnesses, the unfortunate Arkansan promptly fainted...

Upon landing at Athens, all of von Wrecktoften's passengers abandoned their notorious gooney bird driver, save one...sitting in seat 5A, Winnie Cloud of Little Rock, Arkansas, sat guzzling a bottle of Scotch whiskey as the DC-3 lumbered eastward. Along with the sinister Baron and his copilot on loan from the Luftwaffe, Major Wilhelm Klink (who was certain he would be promoted to colonel once the race was over), the inebriated Arkansan finally landed in Cyprus several hours later...
