Another Mass Cessna Arrival Being Planned
The Cessnas 2 Oshkosh group and the
Cessna Pilots Association just dropped a line to ANN to let Cessna
pilots know that they want them to join them for the third annual
Cessnas 2 Oshkosh mass arrival into Oshkosh's EAA AirVenture 2008
at Wittman Regional Airport, scheduled for Saturday, July 26. They
are looking for Cessna aircraft owners and pilots who would like to
join in the celebration. The Cessnas 2 Oshkosh group considers this
event an opportunity for Cessna pilots to showcase their skills and
also demonstrate their solidarity as Cessna owners.
The first formation flight training clinic in preparation for
the mass arrival took place on February 16 at Moore County Airport
(KSOP) in Southern Pines, NC. Several more are scheduled in
different regions of the country including Alabama, Florida, Texas,
Michigan, Missouri, New York, Vermont and Wisconsin. Visit the
Cessnas 2 Oshkosh website for information on specific training
dates and locations.
Events will be scheduled throughout the week, starting with a
meeting Friday, July 25 at Dodge County Airport (KUNU) in Juneau,
WI followed by the final formation flight training clinic before
the arrival. Saturday will kick off with events at the airport to
include lunch and a briefing for the mass arrival at Oshkosh later
that day.
As it was the case in the previous two years, this year EAA will
reserve up to 500 camping slots in Cessna Base Camp. Those
interested in reserving a spot must sign up on the Cessnas 2
Oshkosh website in order to get into the Cessna Camping area.
Participants will not only be able to revel with their fellow
Cessna pilots, but they'll eat pretty well, too. Highlights of the
week will include a free BBQ on Monday provided by Cessna in the
"Cessna Base Camp." On Tuesday, July 29, the Cessna Pilots
Association is having another BBQ.
