“sure someone flying a Cessna or something could cause a little damage,”

If loaded with the right type of explosive it could cause a lot of damage.

My understanding of the Oklahoma City Bombing is that the explosives were in a van and had enough power to blow the face off of the entire building.

With a suicide jockey in an innocent looking little Cessna full of explosives could cause a lot of damage.

Hopefully the F16 people have authority to shoot something like that down if it gets too close.

I love that show but all of the content, especially that one, is highly suspect at best.

anyone with an iota of intelligence should assume a POTUS’s residence, whether he is there or not, is restricted airspace.

>>This used to happen to W Bush…

One pilot that flew over the Crawford Ranch was my second cousin, he then was escorted by F-16 to the Waco airport. He was not paying attention to closed airspaces.

We just had his memorial service last weekend in Angleton, Tx.

Crowded airspace...Mar A Lago directly under the Palm Beach Intl. airport approach/departure and a 30 mile TFR radius is a PITA for GA in the area:

"I suppose the plan is to make it a common thing so the jets will cease interception."

With the extent of hysteria in the TDS-infected loons, why not make the areas "shoot down zones", and eliminate the threats?

The idea that a small plane is no threat doesn't consider the possibility of bio-weapon drops, and/or, profit-making from social media....

If you can't navigate a plane, your pilot's license should be IMMEDIATELY revoked, and a lifetime ban on flying should be automatic.

The guy with a gun at the White House, now this at Mir-a-lago, looks to ne my the assassination plotters are back to get Trump at all hazards. You kick a hornet’s nest you should expect this. Who is behind it? Take your pick: Zelensky, Iran, China, Panama, Mexican Cartels, Canada? Old FBI agents. Obama? Deep state hold outs?

Drones are way more of a threat these days than GA aircraft.

Yep, interesting pilots can read the charts for restrictions…… guess a lot of pilots are going to have a nice, long, detailed lower body part examination……
