Great!

Would be nice to have more folks attend my clinic in NC...but regardless of where you attend the training, just attend....the training itself is fun, even if you don't intend on going to OSH....then if you do decide to do OSH, participation in C2O is a blast.....I've done the RIPON arrival and I've done the C2O mass formation arrival....by far, I feel the C2O arrival to be much, much safer and less stressful as well.

When you do RIPON, you better have your head on a swivel. It is fun to 'rock your wings'...but there are a LOT of others coming in at the same time, to the same spot in space....some less safe than others...

On the other hand, C2O is done in a very safe manner: we all take off from UNU together, fly in formation, then land (usually) on the main show runway (36)....then we all taxi to the same area and park together. We have a big tent where we show movies at night, popcorn machine and all. great family outing...then the Bonanzas to Osh guys park next door...and they have the margarita mixer blasting as we pull in...so you have that option as well.

But it all starts with taking the formation flying clinic.

thinking the margarita mixer cinched it for the boss 😉, Know what you mean about ripcon even in an aztruck was scary( almost like watching a WWI dogfight)
Split between the CO and GA clinic any limits on numbers of attendees?-Ed

[rmorris]

No limit on number of attendees for the training, but I think they have a limit on planes that can fly the actual arrival. So if you re thinking of doing it, go ahead and register to grab a spot. There is a cancellation window (you will have to verify that of course) that gets you your money back if you change your plans.

it will be fun to have multiple Skymasters/O2s in the arrival this year. to see us all fly in, and park together, should be awesome.

So it looks like we have 2 337s doing the formation flight....any others?
