I had an important photo shoot to do today in lower Manhattan . . . everything
set to go and perfect weather. I call to make my usual coordination with the LGA Tower and Tracon and NYPD Aviation . . . Call FSS and find out there are 3 different TFRs in the NYC area today because the G.D. VICE President is travelling through. FSS told me they were JUST getting the information this morning. It was on AOPA's site, but I don't know when it came up. It's really a pain in the ass and so ridiculous. And it's keeps me from doing my work. I guess I shouldn't gripe so much, since I can shoot it next week . . .. unlike all the GA businesses that are already dried up and gone because of this insanity. Yup--Old Dickhead Cheney is safe from MY Skyhawk attack anyway. Sheesh. www.Rosspilot.com |

I wrote to President Bush about all of this and especially when the
campaign trail hits. No reply. I tried to play on that he is a pilot and he would understand. Need to keep writing (snail mail) letters.
