Just before AirVenture I’ll be in Mason City, IA (KMCW) on Thursday July 20 for the wonderful Third Thursday BBQ hosted by Doug Rozendaal – always a treat, but especially so leading up to Oshkosh. If you’ve never been, this would make a great stop on the trip to Wisconsin. The grills get fired up at 6:00 PM.
See you in Oshkosh!

Martin,
I attended your leaning talk at 2022 Sun n Fun and enjoy your postings.
You did a great story on the 2021 Cessnas 2 Oshkosh mass arrival, a gaggle of 115 in a rather loose formation.
You probably know that this years arrival is limited to 50 planes at 100 kts, element spacing reduced from 15 seconds to 9 seconds. I am one of three Canadians in this arrival and our May training in Olympia WA with repeat C2O pilots showed great promise.
I was wondering if anybody is going to video this years arrival if you are not, and if the arrival improvements warranted it would make a nice sequel or add on to your previous story.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Hi Bernie,
I remember flying with the C2OSH group in 2021 – it was a fun event! I had heard that the number of Cessnas will be smaller this year, but I have not heard why. Is there less interest, or did EAA cap the number of aircraft?
I am not planning on recording any of the mass arrivals this year – I don’t even know where exactly I’ll be when the C2OSH group arrives (might still be on the way to Oshkosh).
Have a fun and safe flight, and maybe I’ll see you at AirVenture!
