The world’s largest gathering of warbird owners, operators, maintainers and suppliers will soon meet at the 20th Anniversary National Warbird Operator Conference. The schedule of activities is getting busier day-by-day, and NWOC expect it to be their biggest convention to date. The host city, Dallas, TX, features two major airline hubs for easy transportation, a central location for better access, and a world-class convention hotel.  NWOC planners have announced an extension of the Marriott $129.00 per day Room Block rate, as well as the regular, $400.00 NWOC attendance fee through January 31, 2014. Please take advantage of this opportunity and make your reservations before January 31, 2014!
