VNFAWING.com is back fully active on the web! The new design, built in record time, which I call Aircraft Aluminum, is based on the new aluminum skins I developed for FAF and thus are totally original and wholely owned by VNFAWING.com. The new site is much brighter and laid out in a much more user friendly design with easy to click on text links instead of the slower popout java scripts that weighted down the original site. Users seem to enjoy the new upbeat brightness of the site! |

To avoid a growing conflict with the webmaster of Xxxxlabs, the vnfawing.com site has been voluntarly pulled down from the web for redesign. The benefit of this is that the new website will be more streamlined, more user friendly, and faster to access for all users. The graphical redesign is in full swing with all graphics being designed from scratch by CAG Hotshot, to avoid this problem ever occuring ever again in the future. The site is expected to be active again before the end of the year. |

A possible conflict is developing with Xxxxlabs over the graphical design of vnfawing. Negiotations, which had been attempted back in February have returned to haunt the site with a problem of insufficient changes in the design to offset the site enough from another site on the web. The owner/webmaster is likely to cause further problems if the website remains with the same graphical design. A possible site redesign, after only 3 months of operation, may be forced upon us. |

New video pages completed and 12 additional videos added to the site. 'Bandit Bulletin' Archive migaration has begun from the old vnfawing storage site to the new site. 6 years of archived news and announcements will have to be edited and converted to the new site format. Many news items and related articles still remain to be moved. |
