Mooney Caravan: Kansas Air Capital Formation Clinic

 

Join us for a weekend of fun, flying, and fellowship in the Air Capital of the World!

 

The primary goal of the formation practice session is to introduce the basic 2-ship formation procedures required for participation in the Mooney Caravan to Oshkosh 2016 formation mass arrival to AirVenture Oshkosh. For those pilots proficient in basic 2-ship formation they will have the opportunity to both refine their fundamentals and work on 4-ship procedures. Experienced formation pilots will be paired with new pilots to serve as safety pilots.

I'm glad we're having one here! I missed the last one while my plane was down and will be looking forward to this one.
