KELP closed… for 10 days

ABQ (the airport itself) always cracks me up. “Hey guys, we have miles and miles of open, flat land. Where do you wanna put the airport?”
“How about RIGHT next to those mountains over there?”
If only there was some of that airspace really, really close to ELP. Damn shame.

Exploring the world one toilet at a time.
To be fair, the airport was probably there before the mountains.

Yeah, plenty of space out where the class D airport northwest of town is. There's a lot of residential sprawl up that way now, but that's more of a fairly recent addition. North and south of the city is constrained by a couple of reservations though hence the lack of any kind of development in those directions.

KELP is ~38 NM NW of the TFR by Acala-Fort Hancock-McNary TFR and V66 passes ~23 NM north.
I don’t know a whole lot about lot about these laser system, but I suspect they have to have ranging information to focus a beam at a specific distance. So my default instinct is that damage from “stray shots” are not really a thing; there could have to be a targeting error.
Still, I wouldn’t want my eyes to be 10 NM behind a target in the line without more information about the energy & wavelengths.

No stunning revelations from Politico’s review of open records around the El Paso airspace closure.
Airport administrators had to seek out the FAA for confirmation this was not an error more than an hour after the news (did Bedford just take a dump and go to bed angry?!). They may have learned of the closure from a TSA security analyst, and the FBI was only as caught-up as they were.
