No flying in ABQ Oct 3-12 Due to Balloon Fiesta

[Richard Shagam]

A reminder: 

Balloon Fiesta starts this coming weekend.

There are two FAA NOTAMs posted, in effect beginning this FRIDAY

No flying in-town either at Domingo Baca , Vista del Norte (the "Osuna" field), or Arroyo del OSO, as they are all within the NOTAM area.  The Rio Rancho Sports Complex is just outside the NOTAM area, but I'd stay away from there, too, for safety and 'Karen' sake.

This includes this coming Friday, Oct 3.

Sod Farm in McIntosh would be ok, subject to the usual request for permission to fly out there.  Contact Greg McGill for that.  

Here are the relevant NOTAMs--I'll let you ponder the UTC to MDT time conversion, like I did (Hint:  it's minus 6 hours):

Fly safely--somewhere else!

Re Maloof: Just check the map on the link I provided. Memory serves me that it is outside, but close to the boundary, so it's on you to be aware of it.
