Smoke from out-of-control https://www.foxweather.com/category/wildfires" rel="nofollow - wildfires across https://www.foxweather.com/category/canada" rel="nofollow - Canada hangs heavy across the Northern Plains and https://www.foxweather.com/category/midwest" rel="nofollow - Midwest Wednesday. The NWS forecasted air quality that is unhealthy for everyone across portions of five states. The drifting smoke had reduced https://www.foxweather.com/category/air-quality" rel="nofollow - air quality for 10 states across the U.S. On the air quality map, the red alert areas from AirNow.gov show places where even healthy people could experience health effects. Anyone sensitive could experience serious https://www.foxweather.com/category/health" rel="nofollow - health problems. "When conditions rise to the red category, everyone is advised to avoid prolonged or heavy exertion and those in sensitive groups should consider moving activities indoors or rescheduling," reads the NWS Alert from https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=LBF&wwa=air%20quality%20alert" rel="nofollow - North Platte, Nebraska . ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Hope it clears out Thursday afternoon. Flying some people from Salina to Kansas City Wheeler airport (downtown) for the K.C. Chiefs football game. Hoping for a visual approach.

great, now you'll probably blame the dust bowl on me too.........  The idiot 'experts' up here now say that the Cdn wildfires have put more than two times the 'bad' CO2 into the air than ALL other sources, like planes,trains and automobiles as well as wine and beer production...... so why can't we get rid of all the EPA mandated crap off our rides !!!!! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Shameless, yes it has been very nasty here in the Missouri River valley again the last few days, 5 mile visibility on Tuesday & 3 mile visibility here Wednesday. It did lessen Thursday afternoon and had just hazy skies. Several times this summer I've thought something near me was on fire the stink was so bad in the house. To me it stinks like when burning insulation from old wiring. I sure hope the winter snows can put out the fires, because we've had proof this summer that their government sure as hell won't or can't suppress it much less to put them out. ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF.

We dealt with that here in Ohio for months. Sounds like ya'll have it much worse as it only decreased our visibility to around one mile at it's worst. |

I did not get to fly to KC at 2p.m. on Thursday. Bad fuel pump on left engine. My passengers ended up having to drive to Arrow Head stadium. Good thing the game was in the evening. The visibility was almost 5 miles at Salina but less than 3 in the Manhattan area. I filed IFR. Approaches to Charles Wheeler airport (KMCI), down town Kansas City, are not very difficult. Just look for the Hereford bull at the Herford Association and head north. LOL In the 1990's, flying out of Salina, we used to fly Victor 4 and practice PAR approaches at Ft. Riley. The controllers were glad to get the practice. We were allowed to go as low as we wanted, as long as the wheels did not touch their strip.
For the non pilot members, A radar approach system operated from the ground by air traffic control personnel transmitting instructions to the pilot by radio. The approach may be conducted with surveillance radar (ASR) only or with both surveillance and precision approach radar (PAR). Usage of the term "GCA" by pilots is discouraged except when referring to a GCA facility. Pilots should specifically request a "PAR" approach when a precision radar approach is desired or request an "ASR" or "surveillance" approach when a nonprecision radar approach is desired |

Mostly Seneca II and Aztec. Once in a while Cessna 414, 310 and King Air. When I was flying the PAR's was Barron or Bonanza. |

I flew back to Denver from DC yesterday evening and the air was still pretty smoky looking over the eastern part of the midwest, including over the Mississippi river. I thought they were getting some rain up in Canada but maybe not way up north were the fires are. |
