Midwest Formation Flying Clinic

[Guitarmaster]

I would love to participate in the Mooney caravan this year.  Does anybody know if there is a formation clinic planned for the midwest?  It seems they are all either east, west or way south.

I just learned today there is one in KC at the end of April...check the caravan website for details. It is with a Beech group, but they're Mooney-friendly.

I just signed up for the clinic in KOKK on the 4-21-17.  It is with B2OSH.  Super excited!!!  As I understand it, this qualifies for the caravan?  The clinic in KC; is that a formation clinic or something else?

Yes, a successful completion will qualify you for the Caravan. We accept recommendations from the B2OSH guys and they accept recommendations from us.

Only one downside, formation flying is addictive.

I attended the Wichita version last year, and would be game for some practice in this region. We have a few Caravan vets in Wichita too so we can potentially get a few together for multi-ship work.

I can attest to the severity of formation flying addiction.
Some have reported side effects such as, left hand cramping (also known as "Eagle Claw syndrome" ), attempting to formation drive with strange cars on the highway, responding to texts to meet at a location with "Two is in", constant thoughts of modifying throttle controls, and adding flight patches to shirts.
Common side effects are cravings for more, feelings of euphoria, and perma-grin.
