The following email was forwarded to USPA by Regional VP Bob worthington, as received by him:
I'm Ben Hinkle National Airspace Coordinator with the Bureau of Land Management.
Fire Season is coming soon. Last year we saw a large increase in near midair's and Temporary Flight Restriction incursions around our incidents. Our goal is to help make flying safe for everyone, our Aerial Firefighters and the rest of aviation as well. In your upcoming news letters if you could either add this "Fly Clear" poster in PDF format or mention it's contents it would be greatly appreciated. We have some handout type information available, such as the flyer attached, flight planning cards and magnets. If you would like to have some please send me an email with your mailing instructions and the numbers requested.
The BLM is still the only government website to graphically plotting all Temporary Flight Restrictions at http://airspace.nifc.gov
