Well, that is news to me. Was it for flight operations or something else? Can you refer me to the NOTAM in question?

I don't have a copy of the NOTAM. As per my It Wasn't Terrorists post previously linked on this thread:

Ian Goddard cites Aerospace Daily (08/28/96) as saying: "FAA sources and the Navy acknowledged yesterday...that the area known as Whiskey 105, or W-105, was activated at the time of the TWA accident... ". James Sanders in his Downing of TWA Flight 800 provides a copy of a Navy document addressed to the FAA which apparently was a request to activate the warning area.
(You should read the stuff I link to!)

The Navy document to the FAA in the Sanders book I referred to was reproduced at #182 on this thread.

Thanks for the pointer to #182, which I didn't see.

However, that appears to be a NOTAM for the early afternoon (1800 to before 1900 ZULU, 1:00pm to 2:00 local) and not active at the time of the incident. It's a poor copy and hard to read, but it certainly doesn't appear to be active after 3pm.
