Of course the AOPA disagrees and I completely understand the slippery
slope but let's face it the little plane should have no problem flying
under the TFR and the big planes should have no problem flying over or
under it.
Since it looks like we are going to have to deal with UAV in the future
we are going to have to do something and a altitude block tha is
reasonable seems like it might be the best idea.



THIS TFR is "not that bad". How long before LAPD wants a UAV to loiter
over L.A. ?

What could a UAV add that all the news helos don't already provide?

Anyone know why the TFR is ONLY 300nm long and doesn't stretch the entire
border of Mexico? We're pretty much telling the Mexicans exactly how to
avoid the very UAV that's trying to detect them....

Looking at the enclosed area using Golden Eagle Flight Prep, the far western
end of the TFR butts up against the Goldwater Bombing Range (an inhospitable
area to be sure, but only slightly more so than the entire Agua Prieta area
as a whole...) and at the east end, you are beginning to get near the El
Paso, Texas area.
