RV Group Arrival at OSH

Bill Collette · #1 07-10-2009, 09:24 AM

I have read that there will be an RV mass arrival on Sunday 26 July at OSH. I have searched numerous sites and can find no information on this arrival. Where is the rendezvous point / airport? What time? Group leaders? Formation brief? Does anyone have any information. MAny thanks.

Bill,
You I believe need to have a FFI formation card to join in this-

They meet at SQI and practice before the formation arrival into OSH.
Do a search on formation clinic- You will find most of the info there...

Brad is correct.
This is an organized arrival for FFI formation qualified pilots who have been working for months preparing.
They will meet at KSQI the weekend before, practice practice practice, and will this year attempt another world record. Wish them/me all well in their flights.
Best,

Hey Bill,

You and I could do a formation at least to Rippon. I plan on flying north on Sunday the 26th. They will permit a 2 ship arrival, traffic permitting, but we'd have to get a clearance before Rippon before proceeding beyond that point.

I am up for it if you are.
