Glad their protecting our president.
What a country!!!!
I'll bet a lot of dope smoking republicans are upset about their supply being interrupted.
There's a thing called TFR's (Temporary Flight Restrictions) that are published whenever Air Force One is in the area (or the FAA can find an excuse to publish one). You do NOT fly into a TFR, period, end of discussion. Now you know why. Pot pilots are notorious for ignoring every rule or procedure related to aviation. Anybody want to buy a nice Cessna 182 cheap? Should be available soon on one of those "comfiscated by the government" auctions.
Obama will force us must pay fine with our taxes for him as we will likely pay our taxes to no-flying zone.
Protect our President!! The most beautiful scene is watching those fighter jets take to the sky and protect the President of the United States!!! Wow, what excitement.... Okay, get a grip – I just watched Air Force One, the movie, and I get excited over stuff like that........GREAT MOVIE!!
Be Safe Mr. President!!!
Obama 2012!!
Before and after 9/11, even small Cessna planes would immediately be intercepted. But somehow, on 9/11, multiple hijacked commercial planes flew around without any interception, well after it was determined the first hit was terrorist related. Hmm. Whether a "truther" or not, even a half-wit would have to wonder about that. Standown * dot * net
Even when he is not trying to President makes a drug bust. Turns out that the small plane was full of drugs!!
From what I have heard from local news reports, the pilot was carrying drugs. Way to go stupid. Attract NORAD when you are doing something illegal. :-)
