Yes it did. Apparently Bush was speaking today in King of Prussia (yes, we have a town here named King of Prussia) and they had a 60 mile NFZ that this guy violated. Two F15s and a police chopper had to escort him to a local rinky-dink airport.

Click this link and then under "CBS Video" click on "Restricted airspace is violated during a Presidential visit, Calvin Hughes reports" to see the video.

That guy is screwed. Think the first violation is like 6 month suspension. second, you start over from scartch, meaning no license.

Back during Bush seniors birthday party here in Houston, 7 people busted the TFR. yikes!!

84? Thank god it's not a young pilot with an airline career in view.
TFRs

it is so convenient to open one at the last minute and blame the sunday pilots.
