 TFRs
Issued For Thunderbird Performances in Milwaukee
Oshkosh-Bound Pilots Take Note |
| |
|
Pilots who plan to fly to Oshkosh via the Lake
Michigan shoreline past the Milwaukee area the weekend before AirVenture
are being urged by the FAA to pay particular attention to temporary flight
restrictions (TFR) that have been issued for next week, July 23-26. The
United States Air Force Thunderbirds are performing at the Milwaukee Air
& Water Show, scheduled to take place July 24-26, at the Lakefront.
The Thunderbirds' air show box extends out over the lake and officials are
cautioning Oshkosh-bound pilots to be aware of the TFRs.
"We are very concerned in case there
are pilots flying to OSH who may not see the NOTAM and may be flying up
the shoreline on Thursday through Sunday," said Wanda Adelman of the
FAA-Milwaukee ATC. "We don't want anyone to inadvertently get into
the air show box," which will be TFR areas on July 23 from 10 a.m.-4
p.m. CDT and July 24-26, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (See
maps.)
Following the Sunday performance one of the
Thunderbirds will fly to Oshkosh on Sunday and appear
at AirVenture on opening day, July 27.
