Default Beal AFB TFR ???

It is BealE AFB.

Remotely piloted vehicles (RPV - drone airplanes). You couldn't see those
suckers at 100 yards if you had to. Miserable little *******s going like
dammity hell.

They WILL give you clearance through unless the whole swarm is up, and then
just go around it. Contact NorCal approach around Chico (from the north) or
Linden (from the south) and see what the status is.

Planning a trip from Tacoma, WA to San Diego I find a security TFR for
Beal AFB that seems to be renewed on a daily basis. It looks like they
have extended the Class C top all the way up to 18,000.

Will they clear you through it, or must you go around? I'll be around
7500' and if I can't go through it would be easier to go around rather
than dropping down below 4100'

Reading the TFR is pretty confusing (to me at least) it seems to be
implemented daily for 2 or 3 hour blocks of time.

What are they doing?
