They were actually jumping inside the TFR? Or just flying the jump plane in and out? The glider club just outside of DC operates in or near the SuperDuperTFR. Which TFR is that? And some balloon guys apparently got permission. For a one-time event, and a big deal that was scheduled months (or years) in advance. And pretty heavily restricted. Start with the FAA and work your way up the Secret Service. I believe JRS did just that last year, asking for a cutout or corridor like Stroudsburg has. Secret Service said no, we aren't close enough to the TFR boundary. And I suspect they'd pretty much require transponders in any gliders flying within the boundary. Jim Beckman Yes they were jumping in the TFR. You say the balloon event was planned for a long time but your club has been around since the twenties. The DC area glider club has been mentioned here, I haven't looked at a sectional but understand they are close to Camp David and the DC permanent TFR. Separate your politics from the task at hand and go ask for permission or move. And please don't vote for Pocahontas in 2020 cause that would probably screw up my club. Lolz POLITICS HAS PLACE AT RAS! MEANT "NO" PLACE AT RAS!:-) |

And no, I didn’t lose, I don’t live in your uncivilised ********. Been to Australia many times (your own personal ********) but I had a great time, enjoyed myself immensely, made a lot of friends and will happily go back at any opportunity. But, since I have some manners and don't feel the urge or have the entitlement to comment on another country's politics, I don't. I can't vote in Australia, so I do not have the right to criticize that wonderful nation. I would appreciate it if you would extend the same courtesy to the country that kept you from having to learn how to speak Japanese. Something you should consider, CQ. |

Yes they were jumping in the TFR. The jumpers have some advantages in that they don't travel a very long distance horizontally, and the jump planes are transponder equipped. Of course our towplanes are similarly equipped, but once the gliders release, where they go is hard to predict. Separate your politics from the task at hand and go ask for permission or move. That's already been done, and the Secret Service said no. I understand what the SS is trying to do -- sanitize the airspace around the President wherever he is, so that any unidentified aircraft in the zone is a legitimate target. Given that powered GA aircraft aren't allowed to just wander around in the TFR, I don't see any hope for gliders. It's a bad situation and we're stuck with it. Gliding has been fading away gradually for years around here. The Blairstown club and commercial operations are the only gliding activity left in all of New Jersey. I'm appalled by the idea that it could be Donald Trump that puts the final nail in the coffin, but it could very well happen. I know that AOPA is trying to work out some sort of compromise, and I have a lot more hope in them being able to accomplish something than the SSA. So everybody should be a member of AOPA if you're not already. Jim Beckman |

POLITICS HAS [NO] PLACE AT RAS! Right. All of us here share the love of motorless flight. We're all different in other ways, including politics. Let's use this "newsgroup" to discuss flying. Here, and when we go to the airport, it should be a break from the rest of our lives that are filled with political strife. |

Check the dates. 9:00 PM EDT Thursday, August 2, 2018 until 8:00 PM EDT Monday, August 13, 2018 That's two weekends and all week in between. This will make six weekends out of seven running that the President has graced northern NJ with his golf game. Doesn't he have anything else to do? Then again, maybe it's better if he plays golf.

This latest TFR makes it six out of seven weekends so far. More to come. So much winning! Jim Beckman |
