>> WTF is this?
Alright - everybody settle down - it’s no big deal. It’s a “TFR” - Temporary Flight Restriction. It’s a temporary 6 nautical mile diameter “no fly zone” over troubled area (Ferguson, MO). It’s to assure that aircraft working the operation don’t have to contend with looky-loos and watermelon bombers.
It’s done every day all over the country, i.e. when His Excellency is doing a $50,000 a plate fund raiser at for Moochelle’s latest wet dream.
So, you’re saying Obama is flying to Ferguson, MO.
Got it.
/s
Or when there is a major sporting event like a SuperBowl.
Thanks for the info..it’s always nice to hear from a knowledegable FReeper.
For 4 to 6 days at a time?
“looky-loos and watermelon bombers.”
Those looky-loos are usually reporters documenting what is happening. I kind of think that is important right now, unless you trust the LE there to control themselves.
And what the hell is a watermelon bomber?
