I live just outside Philly. PA is one of the "battleground states" so I
expect we'll have plenty of TFR's. It's a PIA when george is around.
It's much worse for the little FBO's and flight schools that have to
close shop for the day and lose money. He was in York, PA last friday.
The TFR stopped about 2 miles from my home airport. Just to be sure
I didn't cross the line I left for KWWD about an hour before it was
scheduled to begin. Great day for flying but hundreds are grounded for
the day. But that's our president looking out for the little guy.
I call flight service before every flight to check on TFR's.

I'm also just outside of Philly. I'm not looking forward to the
inevitable campaigning that will take place in this state. I live
near KLOM (where I watch) and fly out of N10. Both airports are
affected when the pres comes to Philly. I'm not sure, but after the
nomination, doesn't Kerry get similar treatment?
Seems to me that commercial aviation has a lot more to answer for when
it comes to actual acts by terrorists in airplanes. What are they
accomplishing by grounded us and letting the "guilty" parties fly?
(Rhetorical question-not looking for logic).
