HI all, Len McIntosh and myself will be attending BITW, we are looking to share a 20x20 tent with someone as a 10x10 is too small, let us know if interested.

I like to say thank you Wilson LI of Tailored Pilots foe donating one of his custom Pilots, these pilots are spectacular. This is Wilson's first year as a sponsor for Best In The West and we welcome him dearly.
Thank you Wilson. Please check out his website for the many size custom pilots he has.

Hello everyone,
Best In The West is one month away, October 14th., If you plan on attending the show, please pre register, I will have a better idea of how many dinners I need to order for both the Friday Night Pilots dinner and the Saturday Night Banquet. If you have any friends or family that would like to attend the dinners, than its more important for you to pre register. Registering on line also helps me with the Shirt Color order as well as sizes and will guarantee you of getting the size and color you choose as well as getting a shirt. Tents, Tables, Chairs are still available for rent.

Hi Vin,

Yes, as always that is the plan.(I'm on the Front Row!)

However, it seems life sometimes has a different plan. I missed last year due to a death in the family (my wife's mother)the weekend before the event. Now, as of this morning, I have found out that my wife, who survived breast cancer some years back, the cancer has apparently metastasized into her bones. So once we get her out of the hospital, hopefully soon, we will be starting a chemo or radiation regimen, schedule unknown at this time.

So, I'm kinda up in the air right now. Don't want to miss two years in a row! I'll know more over the next couple weeks.

Hope to see you there!

David
