NOTAM During Performances
We DO NOT have a TFR during aerobatic performances this year, however, we will waivered airspace of 5 miles and 4,000FT. Once the waiver is active, we will make a final call for aircraft over CTAF. If someone is close, we will work them in. If we do not get a response, we will officially announce the airspace is closed and there will be no arrivals or departures until the show is over! Please plan accordingly!
We have had to do this to protect performers from rogue flyovers in the past!

DEpartures
No departures will be allowed once the airport has been closed until the show is over.
As soon as the show is over, there will be a long line for departures. Please be courteous and keep your head on a swivel. If you need assistance, marshallers will be around to lend a hand. Please be patient and again, keep radio calls to a minimum.
Aircraft rides will resume once the TFR is lifted. If you plan on staying around the area, we ask that you remain vigilant when flying near the airport as many rides will be sight seeing tours around Madison, Indiana.
