Let the Trolling Begin
I’m a private pilot. As a private pilot, before you fly anywhere, anytime, you have to plan your flight even if you’re flying out of your own airport. When you’re planning your flight, one of the things you look for are TFRs or Temporary Flight Restrictions. TFRs are generally a 30 mile circle that follows presidents and vice presidents around wherever they go. TFRs are also established around large events like the Super Bowl. Also, there is a permanent TFR or ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone). Within that is the FRZ (Flight Restriction Zone). It should go without saying that if you fly into these areas, you will get a friendly visit from a USAF F-16. If you ignore warnings and get closer to the center you seriously risk getting shot down.
Why am I talking about this? Well, West Palm Beach, the home of Mar a Lago, has been surrounded by a presidential TFR for 4 years. Private aircraft couldn’t get close. Now that Trump is not president, no TFR. SO, someone is paying a local banner advertising pilot to troll Trump by circling West Palm Beach with several different banners like: TRUMP WORST PRESIDENT EVER and TRUMP YOU PATHETIC LOSER. Here’s a video from Twitter:

The entertainment value is priceless.
Is there a go fund me page for contributions to keep that effort going? Or a raffle site to get the winner’s message placed on a banner….endless possibilities…
1IROFLMAO… Do they have a donation site to keep this going indefinitely?
Let’s all do whatever we possibly can to make the
murderous Ratbastard’s remaining lifespan a living Hell-on-Earth, and then wish a swift trip to Hades, with all his minions.

Sandridge, I just read the dailykos article. I am really sad right now. My 96 year old mother died a week ago in her local hospital. I know she didn’t use the precautions she should have. I am hurting, but I am also angry because our previous administration didn’t tell us the truth. I am sorry for the nurses and doctors that have been on the front lines of this. I am angry when I get out and see people without masks. I am thankful we have a new administration that is fighting to beat this virus.
3Thank you, Sandridge. That was about as clear a picture of this nightmare as anyone could provide. I have sent the link to both of my red state senators. I don’t know what will get through to them, but I hope they read this.
4I am so sorry for your loss, Sandino.
5I’d also like to see the baby balloon on display there!
6The closest general aviation airport to Mar-a-Mango is Lantana Air Park. Every time fat ass came to town it was essentially shut down.
Private pilots, flight schools, banner planes and dozens of associated businesses screwed over by this asshole.
Wouldn’t surprise me if some of these guys are involved.
7sandino @3, My condolences. The death toll from this COVID-45 is staggering, continuing, and then you add in all those who will suffer from the long-term aftereffects. It’s incredible the damage done by a year’s worth of incompetent malevolent unleadership, and it becomes one of the most criminal acts in history [plus the other ones]. Putin got his money’s worth a hundred times over.
AK Lynne @4, I should forward to mine too, but with Cruz and Cornyn it’s pointless.
8Looks like Trump took the swamp with him to Mar-a-Lago, and one bigly mosquito, buzzing just out of range found him.
9Pilots are ingenious, and you’d best not mess with them. Love the banner. I live on what’s basically a tiny desert island in The Bahamas most of the year, and our airstrip is our lifeline. The TFRs have been a nightmare for four years, as a number of homeowners use Lantana and nearby fields. Oh, yeah, and the maladministration has been a nightmare for that time too. Things now are better in the air, on the land, and on hte sea.
