Well, they tower is likely going to turn them away. The "mass arrivals" are based on a specific FAA waiver which almost certainly is going to be rescinded (if it ever was offered).

In 1999 we took 99 Cessna 120/140s into Wittman, not during AirVenture, no problem. Tower cleared us to land 36 and told us left traffic and find a hole if we had to go around. Parked on what was then the west ramp then lined up, took off on 36, turned left and took the 30 second flight over to Pioneer. Tower used 9/27 for other traffic. No need for any waivers.

According to plans I made back in January, I'd be arriving and setting up camp right about now. The forecast looks good enough, a little wet (when isn't it?), and not a swelter in sight. Oh well, next year.

We’re arriving late Monday morning—staying in a Hotel for the first time.

Have the hotels backed off on their prices since A/V is not happening?

My busy home Class D airport is used to flights of 2, 3 or 4 aircraft, always RVs, requesting a formation arrival, as in an initial approach with a right or left break as directed by the tower. Traffic permitting, of course. No waiver required.
