The last time a sitting president vacationed on Martha's Vineyard was during the pre-9/11 Clinton years, so when plans were laid for next week's visit by the Obama family, the extent of the flight restrictions was a bit shocking to local pilots. "This is the most restrictive TFR we've seen," said James Coyne, the president of the National Air Transportation Association, who has a home on the Vineyard. "I can't think of any example of such severe restrictions. It's far, far more draconian than under Clinton," he told the Vineyard Gazette. The TFR extends for 30 nm for eight days, affecting seven local airports, which are in the midst of the busy tourist season. GA pilots who want to land at the main Vineyard airport (KMVY), which is within a 10-nm inner ring, must apply for a waiver 72 hours in advance and stop at one of several specified "gateway" airports for inspection first. "It's really unfortunate ... we'd hoped for some relief for the Katama tours," said Coyne, referring to the popular grass field on the island, which offers biplane and glider rides. Since Katama is inside the 10-nm ring and there is no TSA screening facility there, the field will effectively be shut down.
Outside the 10-nm inner ring of the TFR, GA airplanes can take off and land if they follow certain procedures, but flight training, crop dusting, banner towing, and several other operations are restricted.

Maybe they can buzz Plymouth Rock in AF1 and startle the little hoi polloi, along the way.
“It’s far, far more draconian than under Clinton”
xxxxxxxx
and so is the obamanation... and he is just getting started with his deadly control of American freedoms
Oh I SO love this! Just desserts to the libtard viners - they are stewing in their own petard!!!!!
and how many there voted for the Obamanation? Deal People!
Do tsunamis ever happen in that part of the Atlantic?
This tickles me!! Obama is making enemies and irritating rich liberals! It serves as punishment for supporting Obama. Poetic Justice!
What happens when you mix, arrogance, inexperience, and lack of judgment.
There once was a girl from Nantucket . . . .
He is single handedly going to destroy the island’s economy.
Youn know what they always say about power, “Use it or lose it”. (Sorry I couldn’t resist!)
Were these common of the restrictions put in place when President Bush went, say, to Crawford?
Obama is getting at least twice as much SS coverage as any previous president. You don’t want him coming anywhere near you. It started at the inauguration, when they closed down some of the bridges into DC, and has only been getting worse.
I remember when Clinton used to visit Manhattan for a fundraiser, and the whole damned place was cordoned off by police blockades. I hate to think what happens when Obama comes into town.
Did any previous President visit the Naval Academy for a graduation and make all the graduating class of Midshipmen leave off their dress swords?
Sedimentation patterns and rubble, in and along the Hudson, imply that there has been, at least as far north as New York.
I guess this means that Bami is at much greater risk of assination or terrorist attack than Bush or Clinton.
If that is true..I guess the general public should stay well clear of his path. Why be a target.
No need to, to my knowledge, not even in the heated atmosphere immediately preceding the Civil War.
That someone thinks such a thing is necessary now, should be telling. And, it ain't because he's nominally black.
Looks like the libs might have gotten a concession from their president.
Barack Obama will leave no job unlost. Change you can count on.
I found astounding at the same link an article that the TSA has failed to find that persons WANTED BY THE FBI as possible terrorists are still obtaining pilot certificates -one even owning his own plane advertised for sale on line. They can talk about pulling those certificates but it’s all on paper - does not prevent any one of them from flying whenever or wherever he wants - like a suspended drivers license.
Homeland Security and the FBI will get right on it!!! The NY Times found one more name after the feds were going to “get right on it.”
