Somebody just busted the presidential TFR
near Seattle (F-16s escorted the offender back
to Crest Airpark (S36).

If you don't watch TV, always check the NOTAMS / TFRs
before ya fly!

Not good enough. The TFR time was extended by two hours less than five
minutes before the TFR was supposed to expire. Granted, this pilot was
not
caught by that, but it is a miracle that several others were not.

The answer is to get rid of the TFRs. It is the only answer.

I didn't see the NOTAM (I wasn't flying that day anyway). Was it centered
on
Fort Lewis?

It was a moving target (depending upon where his royal highness was
at the time).

No, there were just two TFRs, one centered on Boeing Field and the other
centered on Gray. The one at BFI became active before AF 1 landed there and
stayed active until AF 1 departed for Gray. The one at Gray became active
when the President arrived there in the morning and ended when AF 1 picked
him up and departed. It was the TFR at Gray that was extended without
warning.
