That's how to make an entrance

Many planes in the Sunday 40-ship RV Mass Arrival will also lead the Parade of RVs into OSH on Monday for a 1445 narrated arrival during Showcase.

RV Mass Arrival on Sunday
The 40-ship RV Mass Arrival has been practiced at SQI and is ready for the 1330 arrival time on Sunday. Larry the Narrator has a script to warn and advise of the pending arrival. It will be led by Falcon Flight of 10, followed by an 18-ship in a unique formation comprised of members of West Coast Ravens, Denver Renegades, KC, and Cincy River Rats, followed by TeamRV 12-ship. A Flight of Forty to honor Van's 40th anniversary.
Could somebody advise Van to be outside and looking up?

RV 40-ship Arrival (today, Sunday 22 July) at ~1330
What Falcon said....
Could somebody advise Van to be outside and looking up?
Tuppergal and I will be flying as tail-end-Charlie with Axel Alvarez as backup pilots, and you can track our progress inbound to OSH via my spot tracker:

Van will most likely be enroute to OSH at that time...

Saw the Mooneys yesterday...Sad, i had done that 3 times in the past when i was a Mooney owner and you had to reserve months in advance as they capped at 100. Wonder what happened with them?

The Flight of 40 is fueling and packing this morning. One more brief and we'll be northbound. The pictures out of the practice flights look simply awesome. Don't miss it, it looks really neat.

FFI formation pilots from 12 different states all met at Whiteside Co, Rock Falls IL (KSQI) on Friday, briefed and practiced on Saturday, and headed for Oshkosh at 1230 on Sunday for our 1330 RV Mass Arrival assigned slot. Rodoc and Rosie and Axel executed their procedures perfectly during an unscheduled event on the way to OSH.
On Monday, Falcon Flight, the 4 and the 0 repositioned to Dodge Co (KUNU) along with the RV Parade to brief and depart for a 1445 Showcase RV Parade arrival of the Surprise RV-14, flown by Ken Krueger, the -12, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -4, -3, and the RV-1 flown by Van himself. Rosie flew his -6A in the Parade and proved invaluable in helping the non-formation firewalled -12 stay in position, along with assistance of Condor and Axel coaching. We were scheduled to land in front of the crowd on RWY36, but with the winds 290/15G20 we decided RWY27 a better option.
Congrats to all for a disciplined and well flown Arrival and Parade.
Congrats also go to Bob "Nasty" Mills who planned all the West Coast Ravens participation but could not participate due to a unscheduled event at home. He handed it off at the last minute to Dula who did a great job.
Also congrats to Dave "Hog" Klages who did the graphics for the TShirts and Mercedes "Cougar" Eulitt who got them made and shipped.
