C J Campbell
Okay, I know security is important, but this reads like DHS or AOPA have
been taken in by an April Fools prank. I mean, really, a terrorist who goes
by the name of Hijaq?

Sound TFRs. NSAs are depicted on charts and pilots are advised to avoid
them, but they are not prohibited unless the FAA issues a special notice

Surprised no one has commented on it before, but Dick Tracy has been running

Aerial PHotography Flights 'Required' to File Flight Plans by
C J Campbell
Yesterday a local aerial photographer came in just fuming. Apparently he was
working within the Seattle Class B and called FSS to get an update. He had a
squawk and was in touch with Approach, of course. Anyway, FSS told him that
they could not find his flight plan and that he was required to have...

Mid-air in California by

That fact that it is extremely rare probably does not make anyone
involved feel any better about it.
There were four souls lost in the collision between a 152 and a 172. AP
and CNN say one of them was in a car in the ground and the rest on
board the planes. UPI says two of the victims were on...
