yvesg Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 For anyone that is picture candy and are at Oshkosh today, planning is well underway for the mass departure from KMSN and mass arrival at KOSH on today. Our arrival time is supposed to be around 11:00 local. I will if I can post updates here. I have the honour of flying the last group, flying wing with Larry and shall be the last Mooney to land just before the tail aircraft from that group unless there are last minutes changes. Tens of Mooneys went out yesterday from Madison do formation practice runs. today is the big day. See you all in Oshkosh. Yves 5 Quote

carusoam Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I've said it several years in a row.... Looks great! Best regards, -a- Quote
yvesg Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks for the pictures Sabremech. I hope you will be able to join the social Monday at 6PM in the caravan tent. For those who wish to come say hi, the Mooneys and the tent are the last few rows on the west end of runway 09/27, on the south side of the field. When I landed It started pooring rain with bad crosswind and gusts on top of this. Larry and I had our hands full...wasn't then prettyest landing but all went well. We had a debriefing and the general consensus from the guys who have participated in previous caravans years ago is that the way it is done now is very well coordinated and very safe. I agree! Come say hi. Yves 1 Quote
yvesg Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Posted July 28, 2014 And by the way, it was 36 Aircrafts, there was a Cirrus. Here is a picture of Mooney Caravan element Alpha 2, the first Mooney to come out of the recent production restart. Jerry Chen was in that plane, when they landed in KOSH today. 1 Quote

yvesg Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 If there is any Mooneyspace coming camping today or tomorrow, try to sneak your way to lane #542 and 543. There are a few camping spots available. This is where all the gang is. Yves Quote
