I've flown with the Mooney caravan. We had to attend a 2 hour class
before
we departed presented by the FAA. I've since heard that they were
requiring previous experience in the caravan on a CFI sign off that they
could hold an airspeed and follow directions.

So if a group of whales is a pod,

and a group of geese is a flock,
a flock of flying geese is a gaggle, and that would seem to fit for
cessna's.

would this be a "Cloud of Cessnas"

Ayup, saturday afternoons are a bad time to arrive, with the mass
arrivals of the type clubs. Its absolute chaos on the ground too, too
many people for the number of flight line volunteers.

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.

Unless you *enjoy* the hold around Rush Lake, plan your arrival for
another time.
