The Bonanzas to Oshkosh group put over a 100 bonanzas in loose formation
for a group arrival to the show.


And screwed up the arrival this year.


Apparently there were some issues this year. There was a 2 hour weather
hold at Rockford due to weather. An then there was a take off incident
caused the lead of element 13 to abort his takeoff (failed to put his
mixture rich and his engine stalled when he went to full throttle). This
put a gap in the arrival procession.

None the less, the group put 100 planes on the ground at OSH in 20
minutes. Still a pretty good feat, IMO.

So I've been told (http://www.b2osh.org/Reviews/review_2005.htm). Wasn't
there personally.
