Wierd TFR in Mid California

Cool Thanks. I have been to that site many times, but did not think of it
for this case. Last night I do not think it said marine life rescue. It
seems that this is a rather large TFR for a fish. :-)

Anyway, I saw these whales in the river on the news last night. Did not
think they would make a TFR for that. Oh well.


ALL PILOTS should know this site:

It's a "security" issue.

Yeah. They want to protect crowds from twisted pieces of falling aluminum.

The original purpose of TFRs was for things like this -- fires, media
circuses, etc., where there might be a lot of official air traffic or
way too many sightseers in the air. You get a whole bunch of planes in
a constricted area where all the pilots are looking at the ground
instead of for each other, and there will be trouble. Hence, the TFR.

Well, to be fair, they want to protect them from falling fiberglass and
carbon fiber, and wood and fabric, and steel and fabric ,,,,,, ALSO !!! g

Running with the whales ...theme:

You mean ...falling "transparent aluminum," don't you? :-)

Yeah.. media here is going crazy over the whales, to the point
where it's getting int'l attention and everyone wanting to fly over
here so they can see/help Free Willy. I can see the TFR not being
fixed, as they'd have to cover all the way down to the Delta so they
can head out to sea, but where it is currently at affects arrivals into
SMF as well as just about direction of flight for departure out of SAC.

I'd love to hear any PIREPs from those in the area flying out
of Executive..

I flew over the area yesterday late afternoon and didn't see any
evidence of the whales: no flotilla of rescue boats, nuthin'. Later
in the weekend I'll try again.

I was taking my little nephew to disneyland, but i decided to
play a mean trick. i pulled up next to an old, burned down
warehouse. "Oh no," i said. "Disneyland burned down." He started
crying, and i was about to tell him it was all a joke and drive
to the real disneyland, but it was getting kinda late.
