Another Ridiculous TFR

[Joe Zuffoletto]

Scheduled to fly back to Denver tomorrow after a week on the West Coast and according to AOPA and SkyVector, about 2/3 of the Denver terminal area chart is painted in red for a visit from you-know-who.

 

Fortunately, it looks like I can get in as long as I'm on a VFR or IFR flight plan. But all local traffic along a huge chunk of the Front Range will be grounded for a good long time. Just asinine.

 

I know it's been said before but it seems like the US Gov't is begging for trouble when they advertise the POTUS's movements this way; literally painting big red targets on a map of the US for the bad guys to hit.

The President's schedule is public knowledge, and always has been:

Yes, we have the same nonsense tomorrow in Austin TX.  He is coming for a fund raiser.  Now, I'm not sure why he needs to raise funds, unless he intends to run for congress again.

We should create a collage of all the TFRs over a year period -- that might make a point of how many there are. My favorite was the moving bus tour in New York State last year.

Postscript: Today's TFR

I was able to get into Denver today no problem on an IFR flight plan. ATC was helpful and courteous, as always.
