Wednesday flying?

Looks like it will be cooking at HR, tomorrow. Interested?

P.S. How do you check TFRs, again?

Goto https://www.notams.jcs.mil/

In the field labeled "Flight Safety and Local NOTAM Retrieval",

enter KZDC, then click the button that says 'View NOTAMS'.

Serch for the text "Thurmont". If there is a TFR for P40, it will read something like the following:

"FDC 3/0200 - PART 1 OF 2 FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS HAGERSTOWN/THURMONT, MARYLAND,

If you forget about the TFR thingy until you are at launch, borry a cell
phone and call 1-800-wxbrief. You get a live person, which means you may
have to make it clear exactly what you want to know.
