[Oct 5 1800PDT] Birthday Bash!

As long as the kids are in bed (I'm East Coast), the honey-do list is complete, and everyone is ready for work/school.... then I'm there!

[ChrisS]

I'm in. Now if only I could find my trusty copilot...

Where's my favorite canadian?

More importantly, what stock photo site did you get that birthday bash logo from Keith? That thing is incredible.

[Kim Ellis]

I will definitely do my best to be there. BTW, I think it is Mother Keith who deserves some praise for the way their three year old is turning out. Congratulations Keith.

Congrats on 3 years!

I would love to see a re-cap of where PilotEdge started compared to where it is now. Some basic stats like active members per month or some other growth metric that you feel comfortable sharing.

IE a short look back followed by a look forward.

Would something like the first official PilotEdge radio call been saved?

I'm planning to attend the Bash and hope to see this break previous records.

Keith, do you plan on recording the scope like you have done in the past?

I, too, frequently wonder about PE's stats, financial health, etc., but then I remember....

(1) PE management seems to be operating in a very deliberate, strategic way with plenty of planning/good decisions, a very visible and accessible leader, excellent b2c communications, a [seemingly!] happy staff roster, and very happy customers

(2) PE's commercial business is clearly growing

(3) I want to spend more time learning about General Aviation and less time worrying about things over which I have negligible control....

...so I tell my curiosity to bugger off and I get on with the flying (all while secretly hoping that PE continues to grow and sticks around for a long, long time )

Oh dear looks like all us British pilots won't be able to attend at 0200 BST

[Peter Grey]

Would something like the first official PilotEdge radio call been saved?

Actually yes, we do have the opening announcement from that day.

I'll coordinate with Keith on seeing if we can make it available.

Too late for me... wish it were Saturday instead. Happy Birthday though and here's to many more!
