Another Updated TFR
The temporary flight restrictions in place over the Chiricahua Mountains have been expanded again. Below is a Google Earth Screen capture showing the outline of the new TFR which extends from the surface to 12,000' MSL. The latest information on flight restrictions may be found here. An aircraft violated the TFR the other week and landed at Amigos del Cielo air park which is being used as a helibase by the firefighters.

5/9/2011 Temporary Flight Resrictions, TFR
Two temporary flight restrictions are in place in the bootheel of New Mexico and nearby in Arizona. The one in New Mexico is along the border with Mexico in the Animas Valley and is in response to the Cloverdale fire. The other is near Portal Arizona and is in response to the Horseshoe fire which started yesterday. Both of these TFRs prohibit the operation of aircraft within their respective boundaries to minimize interference with fire fighting activities.
New reports on the Horseshoe fire are just starting to come out.
