Default See & Avoid - Bonanzas to Oshkosh

I just had this pointed out to me by a friend, and it's worth noting:

If you're planning on arriving in OSH this coming Saturday, not only
will you miss the fly-in pool party in Iowa City (see:
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_pool_party.htm), but you might
end up in a perpetual hold around Rush Lake due to over 100 Bonanzas
arriving, en masse, between 2 and 3 PM in a flight from Rockford, IL.

Since these things don't always happen on a tight schedule -- and
there will be a giant slug of folks who have been holding trying to
get in immediately after the B2OSH folks -- you might say that
anywhere from 1 till 5 PM is a "bad" time to arrive.




It's limited to 100 airplanes. In order to participate this year you
had to attend a formal formation flying clinic so there may not be the
full 100 birds this year. The cessna guys started a formation fly in
last year, except they don't know what they're doing.
