Shrub Bush has had a Tfr since he left DC, they narrowed the radius in 2010 but it's still there.
The Federal Aviation Administration is relaxing the rules on flying over former President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, federal officials said.
A notice published Wednesday in the Federal Register says the Secret Service recognizes the need for security at the ranch, about 95 miles south of Dallas, but considers it appropriate to significantly reduce the closed airspace around it after a review.
"It's a smaller circle, just a smaller area," FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said. "We're doing this per a request from Secret Service. They're the ones that get to make the calls on the size of the presidential airspace."
The former president and first lady Laura Bush moved to Dallas soon after leaving the White House in early 2009. Bush's spokesman didn't return telephone and e-mail messages seeking comment Thursday.
Those who violate the zone are likely to be forced to land by fighter jets and penalized.
"It's obviously something we take very seriously," Lunsford said. "Depending on the circumstances surrounding the violation, there can be penalties including suspension of their pilot's licenses.".
