Touchdown! Greaser!
I suspect that the TFR times for the Alliance Air Show in Fort Worth TX next weekend may be incorrect. Who would I call to report that? The "point of contact" in the TFR text, LM FSS, ??
Here's the TFR:
http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_2441.html
I was thinking about flying from a nearby airport (52F) that is JUST outside the TFR for a breakfast flight next Saturday 10/30. The TFR says that on the 30th, the TFR is effective from 1045 UTC until 1700 UTC. We're under daylight savings time, CDT, so we're -0500 from UTC. That would make the effective local times 5:45 AM to 12:00 noon.
That doesn't make sense; the airshow schedule has performances beginning at 10:00 and ending around 4pm each day:

So 1045 CDT to 1700 CDT (not UTC) would make sense; I think they forgot to correct the TFR's times to UTC.
It could be a real safety of flight issue for pilots (and the Blue Angels, Golden Knights, and other performers) if the actual airshow period isn't correctly described in the TFR.
