Thanks Bob. I will have to check if I can get this done soon or do the Fisk arrival.

Yeah, that's the situation Jolie is in so she might know of plans to get qualified. You should also check out: http://www.mooneycaravan.com/

With some help from our Cessna-to-OSH brethren, we will be getting registered Caravan participants practicing in California on 8-9 July.  Caravan participation drives formation clinics; if you want to go, SIGN UP!  We will get you checked out.  

Many pilots come to our events even if they're not going to OSH because they are FUN.  Check out the website pics of the Yuma Gunfighters clinic, 35 pilots including warbirds and homebuilts. The Texas Wing have about as much fun as I've seen anyone have with aircraft, and it's great to see a Northeast group get going. 

California formators have plenty of chances to fly with our very active Beech brethren, who constantly support services and ceremonies with flyovers. So once you've tried it, it's addicting.

if you're interested, go to mooneycaravan.com.  Join the forum so we will be in contact.  Register for the Caravan so we will know you need to get qualified.  Read the Formation Guide. Watch the ground school video. Show up to practice prepared, and have fun.

If you're going to OSH, come by the Mooney Owners Forum at Forum Stage 8 Monday at 10 am. Come to the BBQ Tuesday at Mooney North 40 HQ. Come to our expert panel discussion at the North 40 HQ tent on Wednesday afternoon.  These and other events are also on the schedule. Talk to others and find out for yourself why so many have gotten the "bug."

See you in Madison if you're flying with us, or at OSH if not.  Be safe!

We were told during our Mid Atlantic Group (MAG) training last weekend that the B2OSH formation flying was very compatible with ours but that the Piper and Cessna "gaggles" were not. ?

That's true. The procedures used by P and C groups are different from ours and B2Osh. Both are still not the "gaggle" the Caravan used pre-formation.
