[NSRCA-discussion] Fw: TFR Issued for Ann Arbor, MI - 5/1

[Scott Pavlock]

Bob
The Radio Control Club of Detroit is supposed to be holding a electric
fly-in tomorrow.    (75 plus pilots) The clubs flying field landed just a
couple miles *out* of the no fly zone.
It looks the weather will keep us from flying not Air Force One.
