GAC side-by-side Friday (24th) evening arrival?

I'm new to AirVenture, but I have researched the craze. Could anyone provide knowledge of the density of the Friday evening inbound general aviation traffic? Wittman is only open from 7pm until 8:00pm

In addition we may travel as a flight of 2 skyhawks. We know the arrival NOTAMS, single-file procedures, etc., but do you think we would be able to get two side-by-side spots in the general aviation camping area if we arrived at the same time?

I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning, but I'm from a flying club at Iowa State University and will be bringing about 15 students up (some driving) to learn about aviation and camping until Sunday.

No formation flights without prior arrangements. Get into trail at RIPON. If they try to send you to different runways, you can ask the guys at FISK if you can follow the first guy as you are together. Even if not, if you tell the parkers that you have a second plane in close proximity they'll typically let you pace off a second spot for him.

See page six of the NOTAM, which I'm sure you probably have read. Possibly you would get separated once on the ground, but on Friday evening, I highly doubt it. Good luck!

Relax, so many planes leave friday that there will be plenty of parking for you and they will be filling toward the front close to the action. I have been a volunteer parking in vintage for a number of years, you'll be fine.
