It's just a dirt strip. "Open" and "closed" don't have much meaning.

Grasping at straws, Anthony. It's there in black and white.
I'll even be generous to you and point you to it:

Talk of the Arizona Pilot's Association accepting donations to
reopen Tuweep after CLOSU

http://www.azpilots.org/tuweep.htm

The RAF's talk of Tuweep's CLOSU

http://www.recreationalaviationfound...raf/tuweep.htm

Bloody hell, they even mention the X's on the strip.

Perhaps the heavy metal band Anthrax was right; talking to you
is like clapping with one hand.

What a strange statement from someone who thinks they would make an
"exceptionally safe" pilot.

Unless the Army has bought the land and is using it as a landmine
testing facility.

You're just a sim-sot, you have no meaning.

How is it that I flew into Marble Canyon last year and did not enter the
SFRA?

I suppose it depends on how you define the limits of Marble Canyon. The gorge
is completely contained within the SFRA, but parts of the Grand Canyon as a
whole in the area fall outside of the SFRA (the rim areas, for example).

I flew into the airport at Marble Canyon. At no time did I enter the SFRA.
Actual pilots who fly actual airplanes into this actual airport would know
how this is done.

Yes, you did. The SFRA starts at the surface.

Oh really? That would be news to the folks that make the charts. You'd
better inform them of this important discovery right away!

You really are clueless.

I think not. The charts are marked in the standard way to indicate the
vertical boundaries of the SFRA. All sectors start at the surface, although
the ceilings vary.
