MASSES OF MOONEYS, BONANZAS BY THE BUSHEL...

Wejay Bundara, of San Antonio, Texas, flew along with 97 other Mooney drivers on Monday for his first trip into AirVenture. "It was planned and executed just terrifically," he said. "Everything just went very smooth." The planes gathered in Madison, Wis., and the pilots were thoroughly briefed prior to takeoff. "We left in 10-plane waves," Bundara said, "it was just like a military operation." The Mooneys took off two-by-two and flew in staggered formation, at 125 knots, all the way to the Oshkosh runway. "That's pretty slow for the Mooney," Bundara said, who flies a 1969 M20C with speed mods. "But it was perfect, and the weather was perfect, it was just fabulous. I'm tickled to death." Rows and rows of Mooneys taxied in and parked side by side up and down the North 40 camping area.
