John Kerry in the FAA airmen database ( No TFRs yet for Kerrycampaign)

There is no reason to believe that a Kerry administration would not have at
least as much closed airspace as the current administration. By the way, the
secret service has no jurisdiction to close local roads, they can merely suggest
the local municipality do so.

You are very likely right, but it's important to remember that it was the
Democratic party managing the convention, not Kerry himself. So far, Kerry
has been given exactly one chance to decide about TFRs himself, and he
decided 'no'. Perhaps the next time he'll say 'yes', but we can still be
hopeful -- after all, he seems to be an extremely hard-core G.A. pilot.
Here's his entry from the FAA database via landings.com:

Name : KERRY, JOHN FORBES
Airman's Address : 19 LOUISBURG SQ
BOSTON, MA, 02108-1202
FAA Region : New England
Date of Medical : Dec, 2003
Class of Medical : 2
Expiration : Dec, 2004
Airman Certificates : Commercial Pilot
Airplane Single Engine Land
Airplane Single Engine Sea
Airplane Multiengine Land
Instrument Airplane
Glider Aero Tow (Private Pilot)

So he has a CPA, with SEL, MEL, and SES, as well as glider tow (!!!), and
his medical is current. This is not the record of a casual weekend pilot.
Whether we like his politics or not, he's definitely one of us, and wouldn't
be out of place in this newsgroup.


All the best,


David
