Default 2015 best in the west jet rally

ONE OF THE LARGEST JET SHOWS IN THE WORLD!

It's that time of the year for Best In the West Pre-Registration, Tent Rentals etc., etc., Registration is now OPEN:
Best In the West Jet Rally will be held on Wednesday October 14th through Sunday October 18[SUP]th[/SUP]., 2015 at the Elk-Hills Buttonwillow Airport in Buttonwillow, California. Anyone planning on attending, you may pre-register on-line at our website at www.bestinthewestjetrally.com. or www.rcflightdeck.com Pre-Registration fee is $60, on-site registration fee is $70.00. This year Best In The West again will donate some of the net proceedes to The Make-A-Wish Foundation, we encourage everyone to please make a donation, you can find donation information on ourwebsite.

If you would like to rent a Tent, please let me know as soon as possible to secure your Rentals. Payment is provided on-line through PayPal from our website. You will also be able to pay for Pre-Registration, Tents, Tables, Chairs, Lights, Hats, T-Shirts, Friday Night Pilot’s Dinner (free to Registered Pilots), Saturday Night Banquet Tickets, etc, etc. . We will also be able to take Credit Cards at the event to pay for Auction Items as well as Registration and Apparel.

The Awards Banquet and Auction will be held on Saturday evening at 7:00PM at the field in our 40 X 70 Tent, this is convenient for all Pilots and Crew members who are camping On-Site, and if you are attending the banquet, you can fly as long as you like, right up to the start of the banquet.

This year's Auction will be great as they have been in the past shows, we have the best sponsors that have donated to the show. We can't thank our Sponsors enough. We have 34 Spectacular awards to hand out, nothing comes close to our trophy's. Again this year we will decide on who will win the Colonel Robert Thacker Award, our most Prestigious Award handed at BITW. Please let us know if you will be attending the banquet, banquet fee is $40.00, the Friday Night Pilot’s Dinner will be held at the field, All Registered Pilots are free, everyone else who would like to join us for dinner, there will be a $30.00 dinner fee. All Non Pilots who would like to attend the Friday and Saturday night dinners, can do so by logging onto www.rcflightdeck.com and buy your tickets on-line, you can also purchase on site but the sooner the better to avoid no available tikets, we also need to let our Caterers know the head count mid week.

There will be vendors at the show: Some of our Vendors attending are: Jetcat USA, Kingtech USA, Elite Aerosports, House of Balsa, Global Jet Club, and much more.

FOOD CONCESSION will be available from Thursday October 15[SUP]th[/SUP]. through Saturday October 17th, serving Breakfast and Lunch, along with Mr. Softy Ice Cream Truck and others. There will be a General Raffle and a Pilot’s Raffle, with lots of good Raffle Items as well as 50/50 tickets, you may purchase tickets on-line or at the Registration Table.

Best In the West looks to be the biggest it has ever been this year, please join us and have some fun with us, come fly with the west coast guys, The Cali Crew and Hill Climbers and see how we do it.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me or call me, all information is on the BITW Website at
www.bestinthewestjetrally.com, or www.rcflightdeck.com I hope to see you all soon. a special thanks to all the BARKS members and club officers for all their hard work and support of BITW, we also like to thank the Kern County Airport (FAA) for allowing us to use the Buttonwillow Elk-Hills Airport. If you have any question regarding the show; Camping, RV and RV parking, shipping a jet, Tents, etc, etc, please feel free to call me at 310-350-1320 or email me at [email protected] most of the information can be found on the both websites!

As usual, amazing times ahead for many a jet jock. Hope to see you guys in October. The Willow is always an amazing time and I have not had the chance to attend BITW yet since the move. (I've put in the day off requests with work, I think I have a good chance)!

I would also like to thank Tam Nguyen from Tam Jets/Pipes for another year of sponsorship, Tam will be donating a complete Mini Avanti Turbine Conversion with Vectoring Pipe, he will also be donating 5 Gear Fail Safes. This will be Tam's 6th year as sponsor for Best In The West, Thank you Tam.

Scott Marr and Pablo Fernandez of Elite Aerosports again will be donating another Shockwave Complete, maybe also a Rebel Pro, will see. Thanks again to you both, this will be Scotts 5th year supporting and Sponsoring Best In The West.
