None of which are for the visit. "The TFRs extend from the surface to
5,000 feet agl. Additional TFRs may be established when President Bush

area later this week." The TFRs text themselves say "TO PROVIDE A
SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR HURRICANE DISASTER RELIEF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS".

who's doing the rescue flights?
