Well Al, I'm glad you really never left. Your input to this forum is invaluable. Lee

Pretzel logic! Yet several sources say the FAA will accept them for a TFR bust. They may, then again they may not. The FAA reserves the right to be inconsistent on days ending in "Y". Result: FAA left hand doesn't know what FAA right hand is doing. Are we surprised by the inconsistency? Not me. Ralph, sounds like you've broken the code. Interesting though, I thought this was all enforced by the DHS. Being located kind of near the current president's "ranch" we're pretty careful around here. Only 1 year 2 months left on this heartache, but gang, regardless of what you think about it, make every effort not to wander into the area. You'll get a slap on the wrist, we all get a slap in the face while we're not looking. Who said I wasn't really back?

I called AOPA legal counsel and discussed this. He said there are several cases in which NASA form was used after a TFR bust and FAA has honored the NASA form. . _____________________________________________________________ Click for quotes on adjustable mortgages. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2111/fc/Ioyw6iieiJZdasa1Ur66lydOGMfF4bCa2v4ERGUQbwegzofKvs4nEJ/
