A GA pilot in the White House
Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded?

Well .. since the Presidential TFR follows him .. he'd always be right in
the center of it and unable to fly. "Roger Long" om wrote in message ... Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded? -- Roger Long |

Well .. since the Presidential TFR follows him .. he'd always be right in the center of it and unable to fly. I have a wonderful image of the president desperately trying to outrun his or her TFR. But of course it's not true. Bush took the controls on the famous (infamous, if you prefer) day that he flew out to the aircraft carrier. Any plane that the Secret Service could be persuaded was safe, and that a president was qualified to fly, could be piloted by him or her till the fuel got low. all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |

Who here would put up with any of the crap required in order to get into the White House just to be President? One problem (among many) in politics is that the most qualified people for the job are usually the least interested in it. The people who succeed do so for all the wrong reasons, in all the wrong ways, regardless of political party. I doubt anyone who's gotten as far in the Presidential race as Kerry has would think twice about giving up flying for a term (or two) in the White House. It's a no-brainer for someone like that, just as it's a no-brainer for most of us to stick to flying. Pete |

I wouldn't want to be President. Flying or no flying.

"Roger Long" om wrote in message ... | Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded? Aside from whether the Secret Service would let him fly, the TFRs are usually worded in such a way as to allow the President and various other individuals to fly. The President frequently takes off from the White House lawn, which is prohibited airspace, even more restrictive than a TFR. The TFRs allow movement by law enforcement and military aircraft. Arguably the Commander in Chief and head law enforcement official of the United States has permission to fly through any TFR. |

In a previous article, "Roger Long" om said:
Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded? Who would bust him if he violated his own TFR? More importantly, what would they call the flight?
