Kennedy gets his own TFR
I do not like the man, but would say his privacy should be respected.
If good taste won't keep people away, this minor inconvenience to pilots is fine. Although, given the tastelessness of many who would get close, the zone should be defined as anything within range of say a 50 caliber round. shoOn May 24, 11:59 am, Bertie the Bunyip wrote: "Steven P.

Is he really that important? No. Can you be sure? Bertie I agree. Like him or not, (and I can't stand the guy believe me ) his "position" in the government warrants protection. It's a sad testimony to aviation if some of those who fly can't make this simple distinction. We live in difficult times. When and if we reach the point where both sides of a political equation start wishing each other harm and deride a Senator's (ANY Senator's) right to personal protection, we have reached a point fraught with danger for the country. -- Dudley Henriques |

What is he supposedly doing there all by himself on a late sprind holiday weekend? I must admit that I am no fan of his; but the location suggests a sailing regatta, which could be an alternate explanation, and that is a little out of my searching specialties... Peter |

Kennedy gets his own TFR
This TFR probably was intended to protect the Figawi (I am NOT joking
about the name) race, goes from one of the islands to Hyannis. The Boston Globe wrote Kennedy completes Figawi Race Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + By David Abel Globe Staff / May 26, 2008 HYANNIS PORT -- Under pristine skies and with strong gusts, Senator Edward M. Kennedy this afternoon steered his 50-foot schooner from Nantucket to a mooring beside his beach-front compound, leading many of the sailboats in the final leg of the annual Figawi Race. more stories like this It took Kennedy only about 2.5 hours to make the journey across Nantucket Sound in a trip that many thought he wouldn't take after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last week. He finished second in his division. He arrived at the dock in a blue windbreaker and Red Sox cap with Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd. His wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, and sons Teddy and Patrick at his side. "It couldn't be a more beautiful day," he said. "We're with friends and family and it's a great tradition out here. We always enjoy it. I think we ended up in the front part of the fleet." ------------------------------------------------------------------- As I wrote before, I don't like this man, but this kind of perq is pretty minor for someone with his influence. It may be one of the last times he sales this course. I don't remember, but was anyone in this newsgroup upset that Senator John Glenn got to ride in one of the shuttles for some 'scientific' reason after he left the senate? It was, of course, made up science. that On May 24, 5:57 am, "Steve Foley" wrote: FDC 8/8593 ZBW MA.. FLIGHT RESTRICTION HYANNIS, MA EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL 0805272200 UTC.
