Aviation-related Collective Nouns
I started the same thread on another website but thought people here might enjoy the opportunity to have a turn too. So far we have:
A charm of Cessnas (A rattle of Cessnas has been rejected by me as I like C152s so watch it!)
A briefcice (it's wot 'is brief 'as innit? according to the author) of Pipers - Think about it! My preference would be for "a pestilence of Pipers"
A noise of Yaks
A dazzle of Diamonds (I also like Diamonds, especially the DA40TDi)
Please continue

An Asylum of Parachutists 
Or, in extremis, a Panic...
An Inversion of Aerobaticists
A Preponderance of PPRuNers
Or if you take the opposite view, a Plague...
A Curve of Constellations

It's actually a 'misplot' of navigators,
A 'confusion' of co-pilots
A 'reactive load' of AEOs
An 'embarassment' of Air Engineers
and, of course...
A 'superiority' of captains

Let's not forget a gaggle of gliders and for Pipers, it should be a tribe.
A herd of Yaks.
