    Oshkosh Mass Arrivals

    This will be my first time flying in to OSH. Planning to arrive early Sun morning. I see that the Cirrus mass arrival is scheduled for 8am. If I'm over Fisk at 7 or 7:15am, will I be OK getting in before the mass arrival? Also, does the mass arrival still follow the Ripon/Fisk approach pattern?

    Ice for cooler with camping

    Camping with the plane for the 1st time at SNF. We will be in vintage aircraft camping area. Coming on Wed and leaving on Sat. Does anyone know if there is ice available and affordable to restock the cooler? I would presume there is since there are so many recommendations to bring beer.

    On an IFR flight plan, transitioning through Class B, do I need to hear ATC clearance for Class B, or does being on the IFR flight plan give me that clearance as part of the IFR clearance?
