    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.

XB-46 touch-n-go's

Slow and quiet day at home.....

Decided to do some touch-n-go's with the XB-46 out on Manihiki Atoll, Cook Islands. Petty much always have the sky to myself out here, and there are no mountains so slam into. A win-win situation for me.....:biggrin-new:

The scenery is freeware of some of the Cook Island Atolls and very nicely done. I typically fly the larger flying boats around these Pacific atolls, but the higher flying jets like the XB-46 give you a different perspective. Especially the XB-46 as it has a modern fighter's bubble canopy that gives you a nice wide open view. I can ride in the back seat too on the XB-46 if I just want to go sightseeing......:encouragement:

Don't forget the shallow water at both ends that will make the bird recoverable should it want to go for a drink.

I've had enough coral scrapes in my youth to know it's better to deep six the bird then try to land in the shallows......:loyal:
