March (AFB) Madness!

Pilots!

TFR Time again. This time the risk is not so much the Secret Service, but rather, the aerial machinations of the USAF Thunderbirds! The most excellent March AFB Airshow is in town this weekend, and if you do not wish to race the Air Force's top pilots, have a look at the TFR depiction below.


The normal outer ring of March AFB Class C airspace to the east of Lake Matthews also defines the boundaries of the TFR -- however, the airspace dimensions are SFC/17000, so definitely steer clear of the entire airspace.

Weather has killed a number of flights -- apologies to those students who have been most affected. There is an old adage which says "it's better to be on the ground wishing you were flying, than to be flying wishing you were on the ground" -- a cloud would certainly do that to ya.

Let me know if you have concerns about our weather cancellations -- there have been a few folks feeling unduly hassled by it.

Best,

- Mike
