Ron How do you know that?

Because those are GA flights, which will definitely be banned
from BOS, according to the information we have from the Boston
newspapers and what's been posted here from the FAA web site.

The only real question is whether the poster is correct that there
are lots of Angel flights out the affected airports. Boston is in
fact a national destination for medical care and research hospitals,
so that claim seems plausible on the face of it. The remaining detail
would then be about which Boston airport, and how the TFR will treat
the close-in major reliever airports like BED/OWD/LGA, if the flights
would be using those instead.

Do you have some reason to believe that it's not true?

1. Emergency medical flights are not included in the restriction.
2. Angel Flight is presently negotiating with Homeland Security.

So while what you post "may" come to pass, I don't see it as necessarily
set in stone as yet.
