Okay, this is getting into politics very quickly. Many think the current Administration is light years ahead of the one that just sulked out of office so lets drop it now. Seems we have had politics try to pop up on the list before and it was soundly discouraged, time to due it again.

Shouldn't the Commander-in-Chief be somewhere else this MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. . . like in Arlington remembering the Troops?

Anyone who shows up with any kind of UAV looking thing is going to be surrounded by nine guys wanting to know what makes it tick, who the guy is, does he have a permit, where's he live, what's his AMA No., etc.

You are probably correct. But if someone is caught flying, it could be a disaster for modeling if the news people jump all over us not obeying laws with RC airplanes that could be used as a weapon. What AMA argues is that this normal flying activity goes on daily on known AMA sanctioned club fields all over the country. We don’t have models that leave the flying site (at least, not on purpose!) and we are NOT a threat to National Security. Logic is not a strong point of the US Government….

But seriously, what about the 'every once in a while' guy, the fellow/gal who's got their own field on a farm, park fliers, etc. that don't have the slightest idea they are now flying in restricted airspace? As a practical matter, I don't see it as enforceable.

They would probably treat you just like they would if a guy walked into the White House with a gun…. “Hey, I didn’t know I couldn’t bring my .45 to show President Obama”…

What happens if you play dumb and use the field anyway?
"Ah, SIR, what's a NOTAM?!" They'd probably see me on radar as I got enamored with my M uplines...

Hey Tony thank god we have the AMA. I'm really proud to be a member. It's a fantastic organization and does so much to serve its members mostly with volunteers. We all need to truly understand what it does and has done for all of us.
Hopefully common sense will prevail and this dumb practice will stop. Till then for the sake of my life haha I'll refrain from flying during a notam. MIke

Yeah, it is a real pain! Our AMA Governmental Affairs Rep Rich Hansen has been working for over a year now trying to get approval for exceptions for us model aircraft users, but our US Government (Secret Service, Homeland Security) is hard to convince. They actually have verbiage in the rules that says they are approved for “use of deadly force” on any found not complying with the NOTAM!
AMA is continuing to work on it. Just thought you might want to know that it has not gone un-noticed.

Guys talk about something that stinks.
The President is spending the weekend plus in Chicago .
We are shut down during his entire stay. Why they couldn't just shut us down when he's coming and leaving is beyond reason.
So from Thursday at 7pm CST to 5PM Monday we are not allowed to use our field because it's within 30 miles of Ohare. 5 days!!!!!
So much for getting ready for the Shootout on the 4th of June.
Hmmm what to do this weekend????? Suggestions anyone????
By the way Rusty's big Vintage pattern event is just outside the zone and it won't be affected. Mike

After considerable checking and rechecking the millage and the notes in the TFR, we have determined that our field does fall within the 30 nmr TFR. Our field is 25 nm from the center of TFR 1967.
TFR 1967 specifically states Model Aircraft Operations are not authorized within the TFR. Therefore we are not permitted to fly at the field from 7:01 PM CDT on Thursday May 27th through 5:30 PM CDT on Monday May 31st.
Unfortunately we have no recourse on this.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
