After that, he shuns New Jersey and vacations in Florida. So we have potentially two more months of weekend groundings this year. So much winning! I just checked in with the two glider clubs at VanSant Airport in eastern PA. Nothing much happening there, certainly not on the weekends. I suspect that the viable options are to either move to a field farther west, or just sell the gliders and throw in the towel. I remember (back in the day) when VanSant was a very active glider port, with two tow planes running steadily on nice weekends, and occasionally bringing out a third tug. Part of the problem there came from neighbors objecting to the noise, even though the field had been there just about forever. At one point it was going to be sold and split up into big lots for McMansions, but the county (I think) wised up and preserved the land as an airport. It's still a lovely all-grass country airport with biplanes, homebuilts, and gliders. Nothing lasts, I suppose. Now the FBO there is really struggling to keep their heads above water. Doesn't really look good. Jim Beckman

No love lost when it comes to Trump as far as I'm concerned, but in all fairness all previous presidents created TFR'S in the passed.......just saying.

Although I think the phenomenon of 30-mile TFRs around the Prez is an artifact of 9/11/2001. And if Trump would visit NJ for a couple of weeks solid sometime in the summer, that would be a *lot* easier to live with than this weekend after weekend routine. That seems to be something new. Anyway, we're just caught in a bad place, and I don't see any relief in sight. Jim Beckman

I'm waiting for the day when vehicles will be banned in a 3 mile radius of the Pres - 300 yards for pedestrians.

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...t-White-House/ FYI... You do realize, I suppose, that the article is a bit over a year old? Yes, the White House systems were being renovated *last* summer, and Trump spent over a week in Bedminster, NJ, at the time. What this has to do with the present situation is left as an exercise for the student. Jim Beckman
