Again!

Soooo.....I'm going to have dinner soon, so, would I be whining and dining?
;-)

Thank you, Charlie, for adding a little chuckle to this bitching thread.

My gripe is about all the TFRs out west due to wild fires.Â* The
visibility absolutely sucks, only about 40 miles.Â* How can any body fly
through such muck? :-D

But ooooooh, the lift!

You're right about the lift!Â* One gloomy winter's day back in the 80s
when I was new to gliding and was the only glider up, I climbed over a
burning trash dump.Â* The lift was there, but the smell was, too.

Two weeks ago, enroute from Tucson to Montrose, CO in my Stemme, I was
offered an IFR climb to clear a fire TFR.Â* I'm current on instruments
and the Stemme has a Dynon D10a, but the ship is not IFR certified so I
declined and went around.

Glad you liked the chuckle, it was my point.

Our field is not directly affected by these TFR's, I am sympathizing with others that are affected.
We are affected when doing the govenerors cup which is informal with eastern PA and some SE NY sites. The south end is in/near the TFR.
We have dealt with the wedding cake not too far south of us (legally, I can't fly over my house) that covers the "big 3" NY metro airports. This has been so for many decades.
Other than FAA or state aviation intervention, how about we keep who voted for whom somewhere else?
You not in the US, go gripe somewhere else. You get a byproduct, we have to deal with it.

I think the SS could implement a better idea (like the "R" near MASA at camp David) instead of a blanket.



Hmmmmm.....SS.....do they wear black?
