Fantastic.

Those formation flights that Kenny Mack and his friend were putting on were just awesome!

Great video guys!
Last BITW event I was able to make was 07, it looks like everyone is still making this, one of the greatest events to attend.

+++1!

Simply a awesome! A buddy and I have tried this with Elans and it's waaaay harder than it looks. Keeping speeds constant/matched is a whole new challenge esp if you mix in dome verticals.

kudos to the pilots for an awesome job.

Thanks guys, I think my new Shaolin technique is working with the Camera. Only at Best of The West as Joe C. quoted. We witnessed a lot of great flying, and if you can you should definitely put this event on your calender for next year.

It was great watching you guys fly together. I appreciate all of the time and effort that you both took setting up your radio's and jets for formation flight. It is unique and something you don't see performed very well. The way you did the Smoke systems, just blew me away.
You guys really made it the Best in the West...

Yes. Ken McSpadden had control of both smoke systems. The pulsing was done using the sequencer function in the DX18.
