• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Note this paragraph:

November 17, 1955:
A C-54 transport, enroute to Groom from Burbank, crashes into Mt. Charleston killing all aboard, 9 civilian workers and 5 military.

I worked at the Skunk Works from 1985 until 1998. One of the structural engineers I knew there has an interesting history: His father was one of the civilians on that flight. His mother, father, and other relatives worked at Lockheed in those days. Lockheed was very much a 'family' company in those days.
