By the way, where are you getting your inside information about the

Email from AFNE. I would assume that goes to all AFNE members.


Nobody raised the issue of "emergency medical flights" until you did
just now. Does it say that in the TFR?

The actual TFR has not been issued yet. But I am on a mailing list from
representing the FAA New England Safety
Program and what I quoted was in the preliminary wording. There is a
caveat that the TFR is not official until it has been actually published.
Here is the relevant quote from that message:

================================
Additional Restrictions within a 10NMR of BOS:

All aircraft operations are prohibited except for:

1. Law enforcement, military aircraft directly supporting the United
States Secret Service (USSS), emergency medical flights and regularly
scheduled 14 CFR Part 121, 125 and 129 commercial passenger and cargo
aircraft that meet or exceed the Transportation Security Administration’s
(TSA’S) Domestic Security Inspection Program (DSIP) Standards and are
arriving or departing General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport
(BOS).


UNTIL ACTUAL TFR NOTAM IS ISSUED, RESTRICTIONS, DATES/TIMES, ETC ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE
===================================

Last I heard on the day I
posted, the FAA was still writing the TFR and it had not been published.
Angel Flights are not usually emergency "Lifeguard" flights are they?
If you mean to suggest that since emergency medical flights will be
allowed, perhaps Angel Flight (hospital transport charity services)
will be able to negotiate an exception also, that certainly does
sound reasonable to me.
