You can usually tell your browser to continue loading and get to the site, but if you don't want to do that, instead of going to https://aircraftresourcecenter.com/, manually type in http://aircraftresourcecenter.com/ - without the "s" in http (browsers often add the "s" if you don't type the http:// part of it) and it will probably open the site without errors, you'll just see a lock with a red line through it next to the address to let you know it's not an encrypted connection.

Here's what I think is the relevant part of the error: It’s likely that the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents [browser] from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. What this means (for those not familiar with it) is that the SSL security certificate for the https connection has expired, which would make sense if Steve is no longer doing anything to support it. It doesn't really mean the site's been hacked or is automatically a security risk, it just means

I wonder if any decal sets will be released for these: https://theaviationist.com/2024/12/18/492nd-fs-f-15e-strike-eagles-return-from-middle-east-with-new-nose-arts-and-bomb-markings/

This thread has some information about it, and a contact (Raymond Chung):

That looks a lot easier to paint than the earlier F-35s...

Great job! The panels and weathering are perfect, not over-done but very noticeable and adding a lot of realism to it. Very impressive!

That's pretty cool. I get the impression that the Marines use the F-35C more than the Navy does.

Yes, and I hope Steve's doing well!

Congrats on the wedding, and the visiting family!

Nice shots! really nice prop blur, especially on the Osprey. My hands are not stable enough for that :). I ended up getting sick this year and had to miss it. I live pretty close, and had the Blue Angels fly over my house a few times and even got some photos, but it's not the same as being there.

Wow Dutch, I am so sorry to hear about that. I'm glad that you're getting local support, but it still is a terrible thing to have to deal with. I hope it all goes as well as is possible, and take care!

Here's a shot of a Super Hornet carrying 4 AIM-174s, and AIM-120s and AIM-9s too. https://www.twz.com/air/f-a-18-super-hornet-appears-with-unprecedented-heavy-air-to-air-missile-load

I just broke down and started doing this, with maybe a towel in it for some cushioning.

Wow, amazing! That's been my dream, to do air-to-air photos, and yours are perfect!

I'm jealous! 🙂
