Life with Presidential TFRs

I hear the guys based in KLNA (Palm Beach) are hosting a tiny violin concert for the pilots of Delaware complaining about the TFR.

I was about to say something along those lines. The "other guy" was down here over 365 days during his tenure. Hard to imagine, we had to endure a full year of TFR's.

I was flying today. Learned that Philly Approach can’t clear any instrument approaches into KMQS when the TFR is active because the published missed are all at MXE inside the inner ring.

F-16’s got scrambled for a poor guy whose comm failed on him in flight today too.

I got a couple of first hand reports on your TFR bust. The guy owns a Bellanca high wing. He went up in the morning with an instructor to learn the proper way to exit and enter the TFR. In the afternoon, he decided to take off without a flight plan and a discrete code. 

He got intercepted and returned to the airport. Instead of landing, he did a touch and go and then headed southbound when all of sudden his returns went away.

Haven't heard anymore since... You can see him in the last few seconds of the video.
