The Piper Flyer Association will be hosting the CHEROKEE'S TO OSHKOSH 2010 at the Blue Hangar in Waupaca Wisconsin (KPCZ) just before the Piper Flyer Annual Gathering.
PFA member Terry Hocking and others are planning on arriving at Waupaca the Thursday before Oshkosh for formation training and planning a mass arrival of Cherokee's to Oshkosh AirVenture. The Cherokee's will leave for Oshkosh on that Friday from Waupaca.
Here is the press release on the event:
First Mass Arrival of Piper Cherokees at AirVenture 2010
September 20, 2009 - The Cherokees 2 Osh committee is excited to announce the first mass arrival of Cherokees at AirVenture. The day will begin on Friday, July 23, 2010 with staging in Waupaca, WI, flying the Mass Arrival to Oshkosh, and ending with a celebration dinner in the Nature Center on the EAA's grounds,commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first Cherokee built in Vero Beach, Florida by Piper Aircraft Corporation. Fifty lucky Cherokee pilots will go down in history as those who flew the “50 On The 50th”.
Training will begin on Thursday, July 22, 2010 at Waupaca Airport (KPCZ). The FAA and EAA have mandated the 1:00 p.m. time slot on Friday for the arrival of these special airplanes. Because the FAA limited this first arrival to 50 planes, the slots will be given by date of pre-registration and after 50 have been received, a waiting list of hopeful pilots will be kept. The earliest built Cherokee to participate in the mass arrival will receive special recognition.
