3 planes breach no-fly zone over Obama vacation
PALM CITY, Fla. (AP) — Federal Aviation Administration officials say they’re investigating three more apparent breaches of the no-fly zone above President Barack Obama’s vacation spot along Florida’s Atlantic coastline.
According to the FAA, a Lancair 320 allegedly entered the temporarily restricted airspace Saturday afternoon. The plane was flying from Boca Raton to DeLand.
On Sunday morning, FAA officials say a Cessna allegedly entered the restricted flight area. The plane landed at Okeechobee Airport.
A Robinson R44 helicopter allegedly entered the restricted zone Sunday afternoon. The FAA says the helicopter landed at Okeechobee Airport.
Two F-16 military jets escorted a small plane away from the no-fly zone over Palm City on Saturday morning. U.S. Army Lt. Col. Mike Humphreys said the planes forced the Cessna 152 to land in Witham Field in Stuart.

Didn't Barack Hussein Obama just spend about 3 weeks in Hawaii during the holidays? I thought he wasn't going to rest until he got the budget crisis solved.
Air traffic control tells the planes which routes to take, so if the pilots were following those instructions, is it really their fault if they didn't know they were flying in a "temporarily restricted airspace"?
There are so many rules and regulations, it's nearly impossible to keep track of them anymore.
@Niles... TFR 's are part of the flight planning of the PIC .... Ultimately PIC is responsible ......
There are many planes flying that do not call controllers. There are certain areas that pilots need to call controlllers, and some areas pilots are not required to call controllers.
Walter, I think it was that whole state of the union speech ordeal, he's tired. I'm sure he will be back on the job in time to criticize the house for not having a solution to the March budget cuts.
Now Obama is telling planes they can't fly? What's next? The poor republicans have bent over backwards to compromise with him about the budget. They have caved in on everything. Oh no wait they have done the opposite. My bad.
Walter and RTS. Yesterday was sunday, a day of rest. You didnt work yesterday, did you?
BTW, the party of no is on recess, taking a break. Being obstructionist idiots must be hard work....
This lazy idiot president is always on vacation. He's the biggest do nothing rotten scumbag we've ever had in the white house. He loves tying up the roads and airways so he can play all the time....he has no respect for the common man or woman...none.....

Prior to the Christmas trip to Hawaii, President Obama had spent 61 days during his first 31 months in office.
President Bush spent 180 days on his Crawford Ranch and at Camp David during his first 31 months in office, according to CBS News.
President Clinton spent 28 days on vacation during his first 31 months in office according to CBS News.
President Reagan spent 112 days on vacation during his first 31 months in office according to CBS News.
It looks like our hard working, loving, President Bush spent as much time on vacation in first 31 months as Obama, Clinton, and Reagan.
