Ken Meade adds the following

Notice from AMA. Here we go again. I haven’t tried to figure out our
involvement with the map. Somebody who knows how to read maps check it
out please!

So without checking the map link it looks like the field will be closed
from 5 PM this coming Mon until the next day, Tues at 11 AM. The Tues AM
flyers get to sleep in late! But! Wouldn’t it be a good time to do some
work around the field?? Yeah!!
