It wasn't on Skyvector but it was on Foreflight and the FAA Site.
It just disappeared!

Shit. Sorry guys. I thought I was going to fly today, so the Feds cleared the airspace to keep everyone else out of my way. I must have forgotten to call them to cancel.

Sounds like Red Flag or something similar. Almost all of the military guys I fly with have been part of it at some point in their careers.

Re: Huge TFR over Nevada

Naw, it was some guy from DOD who read the "see and avoid" thread here on BCP, and turned off TCAS and ADS-B just to see what would happen if people actually had to look outside their airplanes to fly! :lol:

Usually put these NOTAMs out when these guys are going to turn their stuff on.
