What's up with WIX?

Breath again guys, it seems to be back! Sunday 2040 BST

I think that the “trained monkey’s” are taking advantage of Scott being away to screw us all over big time. I’ve been trying for two days to get on with no luck. 😡

The trained monkeys are having DNS issues, weather this is for all of their sites, or they’re just messing with Scott, I can’t say…

Thanks Steve T for the list of a/c. I believe that it was Dale “Snort” Snodgrass that was flying Jim Read’s P-51. Snort is known for his “enthusiastic” displays.
Sounds like a great turnout of Navy fighters.

WIX and Willow Run

Hi all–

I think there hasn’t been much online talk about the WIX problem just because so many of the regular WIXers have been at Willow Run (and a good few still will be today, of course). I recall Scott was about to change servers because of some sort of technical problem, then opted to stay put after assurances that whatever the problem was had been/would be fixed. Maybe not, eh…!

Anyway, got back from Yankee last night. Very good turnout including:

12 TBMs
2 B-17s
3 B-25s
F4F-3 and FM-2
F6F-5
FG-1D and 2 F4U-5s
SBD
SB2C
Firefly AS.6 (CWH’s)
Fury (Sandy Thomson’s)
T-33
2 T-28s
about 15 Texan/Harvards
3 C-45s
2 C-47s
C-60
J4F Widgeon
PBY-6A
Turbine Goose
HU-16
Howard Ike replica (a beauty!; built at Willow Run)
A-1E
3 P-47Ds
4 P-51Ds
Stinson Reliant
O-2
Yak-52 (taildragger variant)
CJ-6A
3 PT-17s
PT-19
BT-13

…also some modern stuff incl 2 F-18s, 2 F-16s, S-3 etc. Probably the most well-received item in the flying display was Jim Read’s aerobatic star turn in his P-51 “Excalibur”; crowd was applauding enthusiastically while the ’51 was still airborne, and continued as Jim taxied in…and performed a quick “doughnut” just before entering the ramp. Most cool. Nice to see an airshow crowd get rather fired-up like that.

Cheers

Same here, Scotts away so I dont know what is going on. I wanted to post about Thunder Over Michigan show this weekend.
I talked to Alan Brooks this morning and he said that these were the planes in attendance:
3 P-47s
3 Corsairs
12 TBMs
1 Hellcat
2 Wildcats (and 2 more expected)
4 P-51s
2 B-17s
3 B-25s
PBY
Widgeon
Albatross
T-28s
1 Seafury
They were hoping for more so I will call again tonight and see how it went

Thanks for the post, I’m surprised nobody has posted anywhere about it….I was just about to here after procrastinating about it. I’m sure it will be back as soon as Scott gets back.

Hi Chad,

No, you are not the only one. I have tried it several times in vain too.
Since Scott went away for a while someone must have slipped.
