The actual start date is the following week, there are no TFR's. Most of the local airports received substantial federal monies for upgrades to facilities and runways, kinda a facelift for the million plus people that are expected to arrive in, and around, LEX for the event. I39 just got it's new parallel taxiway completed and is putting off the addition of 500' and repaving the entire runway until after the event. The only restriction to flying is the army base to the east of I75, not a no fly zone you just don't want to buzz the place. The airport is out in the boonies so we can play about as much as we want, especially to the west and south. I'll have a pilot meeting probably on Friday. As for something to do, if someone want to, would be to do a bourbon trial search on google for in and around Lexington Ky. The heart of bourbon country takes you through some of the most beautiful horse farm country you will ever see. It is still beautiful to see for me, and I've lived here all my life!!
