Default Central Ohio TFR

The Columbus DISPATCH has an article saying that Bush will be in Dublin
(northwest side of Columbus) for a speech at WENDY'S INTERNATIONAL
(Wendy's hamburghers) at 12:15 on Wednesday, Feburuary 15.
Wendy's headquarters is one mile northwest of KOSU, The Ohio State
University Airport-Don Scott Field.
Bush will will either land at Rickenbacker (KLCK) or Port Columbus
(KCMH). In any event, a 30 nm radius TFR will effectively shut down
every airport in Central Ohio (Franklin, Delaware, Knox, Licking,
Fairfield, Pickaway, Madison, Union Counties (and a five others that I
cannot remember the names of).
Considering that Franklin County alone has 600 registered aircraft and
several hundred pilots, and that Central Ohio is the home of several
national/international companies with large aviation departments, this
is going to cause some headaches (just as it does everywhere else).



Someone needs to take the interference with interstate commerce tact sometime. These TFRs do absolutely nothing to
protect the president, or anyone else for that matter....
