This marked the starting point of the Global Aircraft website. While on this server, it went through 2 major design layouts; a red-curved background, and a completely flash layout - however, the completely flash layout didn't last long because of its compatibility problems. Around June 2001, the website was moved over to the tripod server for PERL file testing and extra storage space. This is the time the blue and green layout (similar to the one used today) was adopted. Hosting there lasted for about 4 months. On October 6, 2001, the GAC server was moved to globalaircraft.org, where it is to this day hosted by <a href="javascript:Start('http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?jetwhiz')">dreamhost</a>. Through all these servers and layouts, the purpose of Global Aircraft has always remained the same -- to teach people about aviation and aircraft of the past, present, and future.<br /><br /></span></td></tr> <tr><td style="background-color: #002299;"><span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;" class="reg4">Global Aircraft Philosophy</span></td></tr> <tr><td style="background-color: #FFFFFF;"><span class="reg2"> The Global Aircraft layout was designed for total simplicity and speed, and our navigation was laid out to be as trouble-free, concise, and quick to download as possible.
