I'm planning on flying in on Saturday 23rd mid to late morning. Does anyone have a list of times that the mass arrivals will be expected?

Is the field temporarily closed to all other traffic when a mass arrival is in progress? (Bonanzas 2 Oshkosh, Mooney Caravan, Pipers, Cessnas, etc.)

In other words, are there times I should avoid on Saturday?

Large Formation Arrivals
To increase efficiency and safety of traffic
arriving at Wittman Regional Airport,
several large groups of similar-
performance aircraft have been approved
to make formation arrivals. Participation in
these arrivals is limited to aircraft
registered in each group and requires an
FAA letter of authorization.

These formation arrivals are scheduled
for late morning through mid-afternoon on
Saturday, July 23, and for early morning
through early afternoon on Sunday, July
24. Weather and other factors may
change the schedule. Other traffic using
the Fisk VFR arrival to Oshkosh can
expect delays during these large formation
arrivals.
