Will never forget my buddy Pilot and I rented a Tomahawk 2 Seater, Trainer airplane to go from the Twin Cities to Oshkosh Air Show for the Fly In, we camped out under the airplane wings at the show.
He had just received his pilots license in the last year, we were flying VFR and swooping down to the small town water towers to read them to make sure we were on track to get to Oshkosh. Hundreds of small planes were flying into Oshkosh for the Air Show. So the Air Traffic controllers there put us in holding pattern circling over Rippon at the Rail Road Tracks. The circling was not too bad but we were in the holding pattern with 4 different levels of airplanes. It was like 16 airplanes all circling in the same area waiting to get called into the airport for landing. It literally felt like we were in a dog fight with so many planes.
Great time and experience, glad we did it.
