Mooney Caravan to Oshkosh Registration is Now Open

[N9208m]

Registration for the 13^th edition of the Mooney Caravan to EAA Airventure is now open at the Caravan site, www.mooneycaravan.com.  Go to the web site and click on Register.

 

The Mooney Caravan will depart from Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, July 24th at 4pm, destination Oshkosh.  The Caravan is a unique opportunity to have a safe arrival at the convention site and to enjoy the easy camaraderie of fellow Mooney pilots during the convention.  The Caravan is a well organized non-formation flight requiring basic station keeping skills. We limit the size of the Caravan to 50 aircraft. Minimum required experience is 500 hours of flight time, an instrument rating, and recent Mooney experience. There is a mandatory briefing on Saturday at 1pm.  

 

Many (if not most) Caravan participants camp at the common Mooney parking area in the North 40 near the approach end of runway 9, and generally quite close to the North 40 shower building. However, camping is strictly optional if participants have other accommodations. Scheduled social events include the Mooney Barbeque on Sunday July 25th. And of course, the MAPA tent is the center for daytime rendezvous and the best cold lemonade on the convention grounds!

 

Many planes not from the Midwest arrive at Madison on Friday (July 23) and spend the night at a designated hotel with a reduced rate and participate in a group dinner at a local restaurant. Madison transportation is provided by the hotel. Also, for the stylish among you, Caravan apparel is available for purchase on the web site.   

 

Detailed information about the Caravan is located on the Caravan Web site. Make plans to participate in this high-point of the aviation year in the company of your fellow Mooney friends.

I registered this morning and am already excited!  When do we find out if we're "approved" or not?

Outside of being overseas, I wouldn't miss it!  I signed up first thing this morning and can't wait to see everyone.  Hopefully some new faces will show up and see why this is the best/safest way to get in and enjoy Oshkosh.  Looks like the Kansas Mooney drivers are in the lead for folks signed up and I hope for more midwest representation in the very near future!  See you soon!
