Presidential TFR @ Kill Devil Hills

Does anyone else find it ironic that the President's very presence at
the celebration of 100 years of powered flight has shut down almost
2,000 square miles of airspace? Couldn't he have phoned it in?

Yeah...........what a joke! Nearest airport is 60 miles drive.....If the
president was smart, he would stay away for the sake of thousands of pilots
and citizens!! Excuse my opinion but.......what a joke!

Is this what you call "adding insult to injury?" I guess the only thing that
will be flying at the celebration will be AF-1....

Will the Flyer get an exemption, or will they send out the F-16s to shoot
it down?

Naw, they'll just use baseball bats to knock it out of the air



sorry, couldn't resist.

Gotta make sure every pilot in the country doesn't vote for him, no ?

He has to know what he's doing to us. Forcing us to drive 50 miles when
he's around.

A disgrace and a shame.

Take the announcement (the TFR) then get Phil Boyer's comments and
quote. Send to every television, radio and newspaper in your area.
This is nothing more than the same stunt as landing the jet on
the carrier and he walks out wearing a flight suit.

This is even better if you're a registered Republican. Send the
letter to your local Republican committee HQ with a complaint.

He uses the media. You use the media. There are more of us to
make the case to the media.

Even better -- find out who in the local media are pilots. Enlist
them.

Ok.. at the risk of interrupting the partisanship here...

What makes you think that if the next prez is a Democrat that the SS..
er Secret Service will not still insist on a 60 mile diameter bubble?

You're really trying to spoil all the fun! We can only hope that the
next president will be more enlightened. And keep up the pressure on
how silly they are in the press and support AOPA.
