Our annual online auction is raising money to support our Mass Arrival. All auction proceeds will go directly to support Cherokees to Oshkosh. Thank you to all of the generous donors. Our group is about one thing: getting dozens of Piper Cherokee owners safely into Oshkosh together, to enjoy EAA’s Airventure, the world’s biggest airshow. Since our start in 2010, the majority of our pilots and their families have returned with us numerous times even though many at first planned for a one-time “bucket list” experience. Their continued involvement is driven by the deep friendships which have developed through the adventure of flying safely with a large group of pilots with a shared love for our airplanes. What makes the Mass arrivals unique, is a set of procedures that are written to ensure a safe and orderly flow of the mass arrival of the Cherokees 2 Oshkosh, Inc. flight to EAA AirVenture each year, versus a “free for all” arrival otherwise. The Cherokees to OSH “mass arrival” is not an event – it’s a process. For dozens of planes to depart and arrive safely, the group must have the right safety-focused attitude and be properly trained. It requires flying in formation with other planes – something most pilots have never done. The formation flying we do is simple to learn but requires some skill development. We’re not putting on an airshow – we’re flying to one. This requires some “book work” and actual in-the-airplane training and practice. Although the group has evolved into a “family” of fliers who enjoy this type of flying, our procedures are definitely intended to enable the one-time “bucket list” trip to AirVenture to be a fun and safe event. The process starts well before July’s AirVenture and includes a review of the presentations, followed by attendance at a “mini-clinic”. Only those who reach a safe level of skill flying the CtO formation procedures will be able to join the Mass Arrival. For more info, check out www.cherokees2osh.com
