TFR - Wednesday, July 13 - SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM
UPDATE - Since this is NOT the POTUS (President of the United States), this is a small TFR and not even close to Sylmar. However, check before you fly just in case the VP's plans have changed. Know before you go..... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
