There should have been a presidential TFR in addition to the standard "crowd
/ event" TFR.. guess which takes priority.. If the airport is that close to the race track, then I'm sure everyone had to be on a clearance and in ATC contact to land there during the race. Glad our local NASCAR track is far from the local airports, but the local AF Base is within the standard "crowd / event" TFR radius, and I'm sure they don't stand down on race week.

When we fly army helicopters we have to abide by all those TFRs aswell snip I would imagine that Air Force One can fly anywhere it anywhere it damn well pleases...  --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

In my opinion, the president should be kept as far away from any other human being as possible at all times. Can't tell who might be a terrorist. They have that moon base up and running yet? George Patterson A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip.

Where I buy my fuel, Thruxton airfield, is in the middle of a race
track. In fact, like a lot of race tracks in the UK, it grew out of an airfield perimeter track. The airfield is closed on race days, but at least it's been kept as an active airfield. I've flown a Bulldog and a Chipmunk from Daytona. Paul "BTIZ" wrote in message news:5jdYb.670$7k3.407@fed1read01...
