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.
