Since Biden was inaugurated, it was very rare to see a TFR over 45s residence. While I haven’t kept up with his videos for many months, I used to wonder why Bush, Obama Clinton, Carter had a TFR but not 45. Please correct me as I cannot remember Monkey explaining it. Maybe these TFRs are not permanent but it always was mentioned when Monkey was talking about them. A TFR usually only lasts around a week either side of an air display event, Disneyland has a permanent one. So. A TFR over 45s residence until May. 🤔

Yes I saw that.
Hmmmm
I think this is the first time a TFR has been put around MAL, and the fact it appeared just before his announcement and up until at least May 23 is significant. also on the day he announced there were so many Int aircraft over that region it was very noticeable.
Ignoramus here. What’s a TFR?
Temporary Flight Restriction Planes aren't supposed to fly over the area.
And that is the extent of my knowledge in that area!
😀. It’s a big learning curve for us all fren.
Isn't it though?!?
Thanks!
Thanks for asking & thank you u/leonine6 for the answer.
Yup saw that. He’s been in Israel and hasn’t been around much. Also came down with the “coof” while there. Interesting that GEOTUS has never had a TFR since moving into MAR until just this past weekend
When he was “the official” president, there was a TFR over MAL whenever he was in residence there.
It was always a real pain-in-the-ass because of 45’s MAL residence being so close the West Palm Beech airport. That airport is super busy with jet-set “corporate / private aircraft and the need to have every aircraft “cleared” through gateway airports before heading to PBI airport. It really irritated a lot of rich, Jet owners. The neighborhood around MAL is nothing but 10’s of million dollars estates…Bernie Madhoff’s, and Jeffery Epstein’s old Florida estate are literally “right around the corner” so that gives you an idea of the “neighborhood” it’s in. There is an unbelievable amount of wealth and influence in West Palm Beach.
I’m a corporate pilot, and there is still a TFR around Bush’s Crawford ranch…it was “shrunk” a while ago, but prohibited airspace p-49 is still there as a permanent fixture.

The only reason one doesn’t exist around MAL can only because the people with the real power and influence in this country successfully lobbied for it not to be there.
