Ron Paul Blimp vs TFR’s (http://politaction.com/ron-paul-supporters/ron-paul-blimp-vs-tfrs/)
I just had a thought that I haven’t seen discussed anywhere else. I know a lot of pilots and since 9/11 they’e been complaining of the multitude of Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) that pop in and out of existence depending on the whims of the FAA. TFR’s have always been a reality and one has always followed the president wherever he goes. It’s like a no-fly zone around him at all times and pilots have to simply know about TFR’s whenever they fly regardless of whether or not they actually get published by the FA lest ye get shot down by airforce F-16’s. And since the 9/11 disaster, they happen around just about any large gathering of people such as pro sports events. Most are politically-driven by the Sports Industrial Complex but we’ll get into that at a later date.
My concern is that the Ron Paul blimp will be essentially grounded since it won’t be allowed to fly anywhere near any of the candidates, especially Hillary Clinton who, as former First Lady is still protected by the Secret Service.
Would the FAA do this?
This would be horrible after the rollercoaster ride that the Ron Paul blimp has been on since conception.
