Please let me know if your software detects anything. Since the site was down, I chose to proceed with an upgrade …

I have restored the "Today in C-130 History" block to the main page (just below the "C-130 Forum Post Feed") and fixed the "Today in C-130 History" Database page. The Database page is not visually perfect but I believe all the functionality is there. If not, please let me know. I'll catch the visuals later. --Casey

All, I have moved the Google custom search to the left side of the main page and set it to display the results in a new window. If you have not discovered/used it yet, check it out. It is best way to locate info on the site. It is so powerful that it will match words in attached/hosted Excel docs, Word docs, PDF docs etc. Opinions? Casey
