Sheriff's helicopter violated Daytona TFR

Seems that a sheriff's helicopter pilot didn't get the word, and
didn't have the right sqwalk or something.

Here's the article: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/02/17/Pa..._sets_of.shtml

What I find interesting is the quote from an FAA spokesman:

' "We make every effort to educate pilots that they are in place, but
sometimes pilots are not aware of them," said Kathleen Bergen,
spokeswoman for the southern region of the FAA.

The agency will investigate as a matter of course, but "virtually
every alleged violation has been unintentional," Bergen said. '

If "virtually every alleged violation is unintentional", that's
spending a lot of money for not much result. Seems like the effort's
misdirected.

Wow! I hope they are that nice to me if it ever happens that I wander into a
TFR.
The quote makes it sound like its ok, he didn't know any better. You know,
the old
"Boys will be boys" statement for rule breaking.

I'm sure they will be if "Sheriff's Department" is painted on the side of
your aircraft.

you look forward to the trip.

Make sure you have the uniform and IDs to go along with it.

Oh, and don't forget to doff the turban and shave that dark beard of yours
and let us know how you make out.
