    The vegetation recovers pretty quickly. This is the hill springing back after the Old fire. P4246566

    Unfortunately, it wasnt put forth as a decision for individuals to make.

    It was presented as an order, Its too bad that the BOD didnt determine it to be overreaching especially considering there are 2 so called loyers on the board. Unfortunately, there may be uninformed pilots out there who may not know that the CSS BOD does not holds the authority to impose such a restriction, regardless of how much sense it makes to Jerome.

    Now, had this supposed proposition been put forth as voluntary action, I’d bet there would be virtually 100 percent compliance.  However, that wasnt the case.

    Upon whose authority?  CSS? TFR boundaries are plain as day. USFS has no control over the airspace.

    Voluntary compliance is the most anyone can request. As far as mandating?

    Nope.

    Ah, Yes. The heady long gone days of can and do.

    I noticed Shilo getting the ball in the parking lot.  Good girl.

    Adios Mentone Launch.

    Need to suggest night flights for freight carriers exiting on 6. Landings on 24 should only be when SW surface winds are exceeding 20kts on strong NE days, a policy option they were throwing around couple years back, and daytime exits on 6 during strong NE days.

    REI’s frontman,  Ted Gablin, already made one. Havent checked the accuracy though.

    We all got to know Ted from the “race to the brewery” day back in 2019.

    and..The convergence was well marked. 16.7k base. Sailplanes were out in force Sat and Sun flying the line from Campo to Grapevine….and back! They have ADS-B onboard and can be followed on the flight trackers.

    Luke, help me find the part in the closure order where it mentions the airspace closure departing from the boundaries shown at tfr.faa.gov.Screenshot_20241002-200148_Adblock Browser
