Looks like corruption': Are Sonoma County flights being rerouted to benefit Bohemian Grove?
Concerns over flight rerouting in Sonoma County have surfaced after residents reported a temporary drop in jet noise, while critics allege the changes may be linked to Bohemian Grove. The article says that since July 9, outbound flight volume on a commonly used route for southbound departures from Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport fell by 82%, based on data reviewed by The Press Democrat. The route typically takes aircraft over communities including Sebastopol, Graton, Occidental and Forestville, as well as the Monte Rio area and the Bohemian Grove encampment. The shift followed a July 7 FAA notice to airmen (NOTAM) referencing “Bohemian Grove,” warning of potential protocol changes for July 9–12, 16–19, and 23–26. The FAA said adjustments were made at the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center to maximize safety due to increased traffic. Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins said it “looks like corruption” and questioned why changes appear during the annual camp.
