At Work.....
It wasn't me.
But this weekend in the Twin Cities we had obama here and there was the Presidential TFR in effect. A guy took off in his plane from inside the TFR and the fbo where we were hanging out gets a call from Homeland Security asking the N number of the aircraft that just left. We did not know who it was but he returned in about a half hour after floundering around in the practice area. Upon arrival we told him of his transgressions and he was understandably pissed at himself. He was asked to call Minneapolis approach. they got his name number and address and told him that he would be contacted.
he said " I thought it was kinda quiet for a pretty saturday"
My only point is this - dont forget to call...even if the weather is CAVU.
Turns out there was more than one person who busted the same TFR.
