Dubya / Kill Devil Hills irony
I'm watching the President's speech on CNN now at Kill Devil Hills.
The fact that there's a _huge_ TFR surrounding the area bothers me a little. I wonder is he's really aware of how much impact he had on GA and the people trying to get in and out of there. I did notice that unlike the routine presidential TFR notams, this one isnt totally prohibitive. Bart |

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.

According to AOPA, they had worked out a special exemption just for the replica. It would have been real cool if they said No cant fly it TFR. J. Roncallo |

Flew in with Marine one supported with another VH-3D and three VH-53E's. A Coast Guard HH-60J was also hovering in the area. John Roncallo |

A Coast Guard HH-60J was also hovering in the area. Thanks. That's always a cool thing to see. I was on Staten Island (NYC) about 13/14 years ago when Daddy Bush came in for a fund raiser. They had two VH-3s and three Sea Knights (VH-46s?) and two NYPD 412s in the area. Very impressive display. Gerard |
