Anybody flying around San Francisco or L.A. this
weekend , watch out , the president's safety relies on you NOT flying
there.
So don't fly there. I wonder how they enforce the
30 mile safety zone on the ground?
Maybe all Freeways will be closed. I also wonder
how much more freedom has to be taken away until we understand what's at
risk.
These days we are facing arbitrary no fly zones.
I bet next year we will learn about the "safe fly zones", which will be
dedicated corridors for VFR flights. A year later we will fly in these
corridors only, anywhere else will be restricted area. And you call the then
privatized ATC for permission to deviate to your Home airport....

planning a weekend trip that takes you within 30 miles of Crawford, Texas,
needs to be aware of the following. They mean business and will not
hesitate to put an F-16 on your tail and escort you to the nearest
airport, usually our local strip (05F in Gatesville, Texas). We get
about five escorted landings here every time the Pres. visits his
ranch.
Yeah, and I bet
they're real credible threats, too. Your tax dollars at
work, seeking out
weapons of mass destruction.
Pretty amazing. The guy's brave
enough to send kids over to Iraq but
afraid to have an Ercoupe within
30nm of him. Some tough dude.
'Go on about your lives, work, travel,
etc.' he says. Then he erects
a 30nm iron umbrella over his own head.
Big, brave, man.
I bet Harry Truman wouldn't have let his bodyguards
shut down
(uncompensated) most aviation businesses for 2800 square miles
around his and his Daddy's house on a regular basis, and
around the
rest of this 'free' country on an irregular basis.
Problem is, the
'me' society has now got itself elected President and
figures that his
vacations and visits are more important than people's
lives and
livelihoods.
If I lived around Crawford, I'd probably be about as
thrilled as the Dixie
Chicks. There goes the neighborhood...
