Bush Indy Visit Causes Pilot Headaches
AOPA, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, sent out an urgent e-mail to its members advising them of President Bush's visit to Indianapolis today (Friday). The FAA did not give pilots sufficient warning of Bush's visit and the Presidential TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions).

Without this notice, some pilots may not hear of the restricted airspace, and that could cause them to lose their licenses and their livelihoods. The Indianapolis area has many airports, some of which will be closed during the Bush visit, affecting numerous small businesses.

More details are available in the lead story at Pilots for Dean.
