First TSA, now NASCAR

Phoenix Regional (A39) is getting a temporary tower for the Copperstate Fly
In next weekend and they have published arrival and departure
procedures...but I don't believe that the airspace will change designations.
I'll have to dig into it further.

Anyone here coming to Copperstate?

I'll be there one day, either Saturday or Sunday.

Personally, I think the Arlington pilots' concern is way overblown. Even on
those days in which the event draws more than 30,000 and there is a TFR, you
are allowed to fly through the TFR for the purpose of arriving or departing
at the airport.

Most of the resistance seems to be coming from the Blackjack Squadron the
a bunch of squirrels who regard the airport as their personal property and
who resent the idea of there being any rules for flying at all. These are
the guys who practice aerobatics on short final. I know several people who
have had to take evasive action to avoid being hit by these idiots. Tough
luck if a NASCAR track makes them clean up their act.

I think the track will be beneficial for the airport.

Ah, but if it were a figure-8, it would be as interesting as aviation crash
videos.

I don't know about other sites, but Talledega puts up a temporary tower on
race day, so I am guessing a temporary Class D airspace goes along with
it.

Probably not. Controlled airspace just isn't established for these
short-term events. Fond du Lac gets a temporary tower each year during the
EAA convention, but there are no airspace changes. Sheboygan got a
temporary tower for the PGA tournament but there were no airspace changes.

Steve,
Welcome back. You were missed.

Thanks. I didn't realize I'd been gone.
