Yesterday we received good news. The Navy and the FAA have finally agreed on the size of the TFR surrounding the Naval Submarine Base here at Kings Bay. This TFR was originally 5 nm radius to 4,999 feet altitude and encompassed the airport, closing it down. Effective 9:00 a.m. Tomorrow 3 December the TRF will be reduced to 2 nm radius and 2,999 foot altitude. This will allow 4J6 to reopen with several revisions to the flight patterns. Runway 04 is the one that points towards the base and aircraft must turn 90 degrees within 1/2 mile from the end of the runway (5000' long). Runway 13 will now have a right hand pattern and runway 31 will now have a left hand pattern. The new TFR will probably become a Prohibited area soon and over flights of the base outside of the TFR/prohibited area will not be permitted. The FBO operator has kept his door open since they shut down the airport on Sept. 11 th keeping busy by stripping and painting several aircraft and doing some engine work carried in to him by local pilots etc. is gearing up to reopen again. This successful effort was accomplished by dedicated work of the local Mayor, city manager, airport authority and a commission funded by the Governor of the State. The head of the commission and several other members happen to be pilots. So !! if you are in the area, please drop in as soon as you can and support our local FBO and thank him for hanging around Rich Blair N99997 4J6 St. Marys, Ga. ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
