I flew into College Station, Texas on Saturday for the Texas A&M/Kansas
football game. When I spoke with the preflight briefer, he informed me that
the TFR around the game would close the local airfield from 1 hour before to
1 hour after the game.
I have no idea how that played out, but I know that light aircraft
(particularly helicopters) frequently overfly my college team’s games and
I’ve never heard of anyone being busted for a TFR violation. There are no
airfields within several miles (>5) of my team’s stadium.
What’s going on here… Are these TFR’s enforced or are they just a paper
tiger?
Enquiring minds and all that…
Aside: The most interesting part of the flight to and from the game was
seeing the V-22 Osprey up close and personal while enroute. I wonder if he
ever saw us?

If you can get permission to fly through a TFR from ATC, you can
legally do so. Those copters are probably on official business.
Probably filming the game, or a police copter chasing a suspect or
something…

Those sharp Ozarkian eyes of yours sure were quick to spot my error.

accept my sincere apology for this offending typographic error. :-)

Well it’s just that you are usually so good at cutting and pasting.
BTW. Please check location of KELD. Ozark mountains are a long way off. In
fact, there is a whole other mountain range between here and there.

Thank you.
I don’t know what that has to do with an original Subject line, but…
I include a lot of the research material I find in my articles for
several reasons:
1. Web-page content tends to become unavailable as it ages.
2. It makes it easier for the reader to view background material.
3. It is independently created, and thus not viewed as my
opinion.
4. It lends credibility to the validity of the subject.
5. It remains in the deja.com Usenet archive for decades
facilitating further research.
For those reasons, I wish others would adopt the practice of quoting
credible source material in their articles, including URLs.

Most jokes are funny.
I fail to perceive any humor in your comment, but I do find it useful
for elucidating my rationale for including reference material in my
articles.
Perhaps you might consider inserting a
in your comments that are
not meant to be taken literally.

So, not only is he typing challenged, he’s geographically challenged as well
(we won’t even go into "mentally challenged").
