According to the wording of the Notam, the replica would not have been
able to take off because it doesnt contain a transponder. I know this
is a picayune detail, its pretty funny.

In fact though Dubya was long gone before they attemped a take off, so
I suspect the TFR had been cancelled.

Real shame they didn't get it off the ground. It was fun rooting
for them.
