Nothing else will be flying, how inappropriate.

I mentioned the President's planned visit to my wife, who is not a
flyer (yet; I'll wear her down and one day she'll take a discovery
flight, then a pinch hitter, then... one can hope!)

She offered that the Wright flyer replicas wouldn't be much of a
threat to the President, since they can't really fly in circles and
won't get off the ground more than several tens of feet.

Perhaps after his speech, the President will have the good sense to Go
Away and permit others the rest of the day in flight. Weather
permitting, of course.

If we're IFR at Kill Devil that day, all of this will be moot anyway.

The SS loons will probably STILL think that it is a threat and prohibit
it from flying!

One of the most important inventions to mankind? Powered Flight.
Invented by Americans, on the centennial...
Kennedy? Kennedy? "WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON" That Kennedy?
Wouldnt show up? yeah right! To bad we couldnt bet on that one.


Ok so worst case 0700-1200 local for the TFR. yeah it sucks but
plenty of daylight left to fly.


In article , says...

So, you truly believe that Clinton, Johnson, Kennedy, Truman, or
Roosevelt
wouldn't have gone to Kill Devil to speechify if it happened on their
watch?

I don't believe any of them would do it if they were president today.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually
said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I think there aren't enough SS men in the world to keep him from getting
lynched
if he shut down Oshkosh.

I don't know about everyone on that list, but Franklin Roosevelt was the
first president to fly in an airplane while in office, and his cousin Teddy
had flown in the Wright Flyer way back in 1910 after leaving office. Both
were correspondents with one or both of the Wright Brothers. I'm guessing
FDR would've found his way to Kill Devil.

Why doesn't he fly in with a flight of Fighter Escorts and no TFR?

Could be safer than alone in a TFR due to reaction time of close
Fighters if anything were about to happen.

Doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to make things work.

The Wright Flyer not being able to take off may have nothing to do with the TFR.

Actually, I'd like to see the prez shut down Oshkosh by visiting. It's
probably the only way enough outrage will be generated to overcome the silly
TFR thing once and for all. If the pres makes "an exception", the whole TFR
thing will be seen as reasonable.

Actually, I want to know why the POTUS decided to take his act to Kill
Devil Hills to watch a replica when he could have walked from the
White House to the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum and stood before
the real thing. Not only that, he'd be surrounded with a hall of
amazing achievements that followed.

I just don't get it.

Simple......lotsa press at Kill Devil Hills today. A politician never
passes up a chance for free press even though he might not have known who
the Wright brothers were half an hour before he arrived.
