What's Up With Aiken's Airplanes Website?

Mods: Hope this is the correct place to post this, if not, feel free to move!

Is anyone else having problems opening Aiken's website? I can get to the home page, but everytime I try to open a manufacturer's page I receive the "Web page not found" screen. Are they still operational?

I couldn't even get to their homepage. I hope they didn't go under, they were a pleasure to purchase models from. Hopefully the servers down and that's all it is.

I'm also getting the error message at the 'Mule' - hopefully the technical glitch will be sorted soon.

The mule uses Miva Merchant they are the ones with the problem.
A few weeks back when they had the Gaincorps jet s back in stock this happened a few times when there stock was getting low on a weekend.
it could be a upgrade somewhere too.

Re: What's Up With Aiken's Airplanes Website?

Aikens is working now, but it looks like they've made a few changes. Once in the Franklin Mint section, there's no links to get out. So make sure you bookmark the Aikens homepage, so you can at least use your "Back" button to get back.
