She got
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL nervous when the four of us were in a loose gaggle
towards OSH, reported the same information, and still couldn't see one
another.

We're going to have to find a way to address that problem.

I remember that well, Jim, and agree that it was unnerving. Since
then, I have done the gaggle thing several times, and the trick seems
to be to maintain visual contact starting at departure.

As a I recall, we tried to "find" each other after departing Iowa
City, and that proved quite difficult. (Although the rest of us did
catch sight of each other -- we just couldn't spot that pretty blue
182 against the sky, I guess? )

Perhaps we should assign a "buddy" to fly with, someone who you keep
in visual contact with from taxi to airborne? If I watch you, and
you watch Jack, and Jack watches Edwin, and so on, we should all
remain safely in sight of each other...
