Florida’s east coast is prime flying country, especially this time of year. But apparently several pilots were not checking for temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) recently. The FAA is investigating multiple breaches of a Presidential TFR over the Sunshine State while President Obama was vacationing over the holiday weekend.
Aircraft that busted the restricted airspace include a Lancair 320, a Robinson R44 helicopter and a Cessna 152, which was intercepted by F-16 fighters on Saturday morning and directed to land at Witham Field in Stuart, Florida.
