fires at Tahoe
I am thinking of going up to Airsailing this weekend for some XC
paractice. Does anyone have any info on the impact the fires are having in the area? Visibility, TFRs? (extra thermals???) Friday looks windy, but the weekend looks OK according to NOAA Matt Jr. |

Friday looks windy, but the weekend looks OK according to NOAA Matt Jr. it is very typical for there to be TFRs in areas with wildfires. they keep the area clear so that the firefighting aircraft can do their job. there would probably be good thermals but no where to land! |

the NOTAMS will tell you were the TFRs are.
right now it appears to be confined to the South Tahoe Valley and not impacting Minden or Air Sailing How ever.. the smoke appears to be north, NE and thick. We are getting smoke here in the LAS valley from the Tehachapi fires.. and we are almost 200 miles away. BT "Matt Herron Jr." wrote in message ups.com...

Thanks for all the good info, especialy the links. I have booked them
for future use as well. Airsailing looks managable. The Pinenuts are questionable, depending on what the wind does... Will wait and see for now. Matt |

Smoke haze in the Minden area was minimal for most of the day today. I flew
over Heavenly at 12K, staying at least 1/2 mile from the TFR edge. The burn area showed no visible flame, just gray smoke blowing NE and not mushrooming into the sky as on previous days. bumper "BT" wrote in message ... the NOTAMS will tell you were the TFRs are. right now it appears to be confined to the South Tahoe Valley and not impacting Minden or Air Sailing How ever.. the smoke appears to be north, NE and thick.
