Knik/Lake George TFR

Glad to hear that those families that are effected by this new information have the closure now, as no matter how long it takes, closure is a necessary component of the healing process.
Never forgotten!

Latest article from ADN online says the wreck was first found by pilot Terris Moore in 1952 flying a Super Cub! It was 12 miles farther up the glacier then. It was buried in snow within a few days and searchers were not able to re-find it until now.

Went up to the top where (kinda) the accident must have taken place. Good gravy is that a place. No wonder they never got anything out of there.

Anyhow, don't want to hijack a thread. I will of course... If any of you guys are interested, we are going to throw a get together at the school. I'm going to run over some airspace stuff for a number of guys. I figured it would be nice to make it a open forum for whoever shows up. 6pm. July 10th. Next to the Noisy Goose. Come one and all. Bring a chair. About a hour long. I'll hit t critical areas around the Valley including Knik and how the airspace looks around Alaska. TFR's and all that jazz. I'll throw some coffee on. Good time to ask questions about whats over your head.

Thanks,
Artic

Mission complete as of Friday afternoon. TFR may resurface towards the end of the summer if the glacier decides to give up more debris.

More debris and remains surfaced this year and the JPAC folks are back in town. TFR will probably go into effect Monday, 24 Jun, up to 2000 ft within a 1 NM radius of the debris field at the toe of Colony Glacier. Will probably run through the 3rd of July. The intent is not to make it continuous, but only in effect when folks are on the ice or sling load ops are in progress. Draft image below. More to follow.

Thanks for the update. Luckily we have so much to see so close. I'll run relatives to other areas for summer sightseeing during that spell.

That POC right there is funny...not sure if intentional or not, but with an avatar like that, it's gotta be.
