Oshkosh Arrival and Camping
Come experience EAA AirVenture and the camaraderie of the COPA Formation mass arrival.
This is your opportunity to fly in as part of a large formation with a reserved arrival slot and a group camping location with all the COPA Formation members.
We offer three ways to enjoy participating in the COPA Formation mass arrival: solo pilots who are comfortable flying without a safety pilot, an option to have a formation safety pilot fly your plane with you, or as a passenger who wants to experience the formation arrival to AirVenture.
We will stage out of Janesville (KJVL) on Friday/Saturday and depart Sunday. Lodging and transportation details are in our sign-up page. Be sure to sign-up early and reserve your accommodations before our block reservation rate ends.
For additional details and to sign up for the COPA Formation arrival, please contact us if you have questions on how you can participate.
