I live on the edge of the presidential TFR. I was outside working at about 10am and I heard a very loud jet. I look up and see an F16 in a tight right hand turn. A few seconds later a C172 comes into view. The F16 circles the 172 two more times and looks as though he is forced toward KRDG. At 8pm I was putting my kids to bed and hear another F16 outside. I go out and see another Cessna getting circled and forced towards KRDG. Please pay attention out there.

Here's an interesting video I saw on the FighterSweep website, taken from a Today show segment. They staged an interception in a real TFR to show what happens. While the reporter is a bit sensationalist (aren't they all?) and he seems to be flying in a "Cezzna" that "barrels down the runway", the footage is pretty good training for what you should expect if you wander into a TFR.

Great.... more airspace to worry about! FAA Sources for Temporary Restricted Area (TRA) Information Notice Number: NOTC7310 The FAA will soon begin limited use of a Temporary Restricted Area (TRA) in certain areas when the types of operation(s) to be conducted there require a TRA. The flight rules that apply to a TRA are the same as a Restricted Area (RA). The best FAA resources to view any TRAs upcoming or active are the FAA Special Use Airspace (SUA) website and the Notices to Airmen Publication (NTAP). Please use the following links to access these resources before a flight: https://sua.faa.gov www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/notices/ For questions or more information contact: Scott Rosenbloom Phone: 202-267-3783 Email: scott.rosenbloom@faa.gov

This is a first for me. TFR for gas release. Hmmmm.

Here's a head scratcher. Does anyone else get this 3rd huge outermost TFR ring randomly popping up around the standard D.C. SFRA in flight? I'm using Foreflight with Stratus 2 for fis-b display. I never see it on the ground while flight planning. It's usually labeled "dates unknown" in flight. The first couple times it happened, I asked Potomac Approach before flying through vfr - they had no idea what I was talking about, so I stopped asking. I thought I should bring up here though so at least I can tell the F-16 pilot "but this guy on Mooneyspace said it was cool" I've seen it for the last 2 years, so I doubt it's a Foreflight bug - they would have fixed by now - I'm guessing it's intrinsic to the fis-b data transmitted.
