Brady Weston 1165528 Posted August 22, 2013 at 10:34 PM Posted August 22, 2013 at 10:34 PM I was planing a flight this afternoon and when I looked at flightaware.com I noticed that a huge portion of the Northeastern US is covered in a giant TFR blob up to FL180. It says VIP, this is ridiculous. Anyone know what this is about? I'd post a screenshot if I knew how to do it on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted August 22, 2013 at 10:35 PM Posted August 22, 2013 at 10:35 PM you dont need to worry about TFR's on VATSIM. the TFR is due to VIP movement as it says. IE the president, vice president, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Weston 1165528 Posted August 22, 2013 at 10:56 PM Author Posted August 22, 2013 at 10:56 PM Oh, I know that they don't apply on VATSIM, but it was crazy to see. I recommend taking a look. Apparently it's some two day bus tour for a bunch of bigwigs. I'm not sure I agree with blanking out a few thousand square miles of sky for some PR stunt.

Mike Evans Posted August 23, 2013 at 09:53 PM Posted August 23, 2013 at 09:53 PM It's for an Obama bus tour.. wherever he is, you get a TFR automagically.. I thought it was a bug in ForeFlight until I saw what it was.. Mike Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
