[@MusicmatchJukebox]

I did an instructional flight with a student last year and I was aware of a TFR that was going to go active about 2 hours later. The entire practice area that is otherwise full of planes was completely empty. The lack of planes, paired with the yellow circle on Foreflight was foreboding enough for me to cut the flight short and head back. Last thing I wanted was to be that guy trapped in an active TFR, even if I was aware of the NOTAM active time 😂

I gotta say, the whole concept of these TFRs really burns my arse! The president is supposed to be a regular American, not an elected king. The idea that we close highways and create this 30 mile sterile airspace bubble for any of these cIowns is absolutely ridiculous! The government doesn't own the airspace, WE DO! We ALLOW them to manage it, but they act like it's their exclusive domain and they graciously allow us peasants to play in their sandbox. I tell you what, if the Founding Fathers were alive today, they'd have been stacking bodies by now.

this happened once over my house during Obama's term. It was AIRSHOW LOUD because the F15s were behind the curve trying to fly slow enough to stay near the little C150, and when they passed the cessna they would go to AB and make a big circle to get back behind the guy for another pass. So a huge roar for 30 seconds, then this banging rumble as the noise bounced off the hills during the big circle, then another huge roar...

[@CMDRFandragon]

How many warnings do they get by the interceptor before they start slingin' sidewinders?

[@cockatoo010]

Quite a lot. The pilot does get quite a bit of room to use their judgement As long as the aircraft is not judged to be a threat to population centers, it will likely not get shot down. For example, the guy who stole a Dash-8 at Seattle got followed by F15s for almost his entire flight and they never shot at him since it was clear the guy wasn't intending to aim the plane at Seattle. He ended up crashing after running out of fuel.

Including for presidential TFR violations. This guy took off from an airport about 2 miles or so inside the 60 mile ring and flew out of it, circled turned back and landed. 14 minute flight total.

Sorry for my ignorance: :-) I'm curious what would happen if someone in a small plane had bad intentions and the jet is too fast to keep up with it. It sounded like they lost sight of it towards the end there? Anyway, thanks for any explanations.

[@scapilot1980]

There's no such thing as to fast to keep up.... Bad intention is determined by a ore defined distance from the vip. Once inside of a threatening radius, if the aircraft has not responded to radio communications or looked out the window and saw a fighter and didn't deviate course, they would shoot it down and that is no joke. It clearly states in the tfr that it's established in the sake of national defense and deadly force may be authorized. If the fighters are too fast for an overshoot, then they'll often make offset maneuvers behind the aircraft to maintain a visual on the offending aircraft. And even if they do overshoot, they've got an incredibly nimble turn radius and can be back behind a Cessna in a matter of seconds.

[@-Bill.]

Not to mention an air-to-air missile just loves slow moving targets. They've got the one that flies up to the target aircraft and passes in front of it and might even drop flares to try to get the pilot to respond, but there is usually another one hanging way back ready to fire. I wonder whether the F35 could down the Cessna with just its jetwash, I imagine it has enough thrust to overload the airframe.

[@ifiwereme]

OK, that makes more sense. I was thrown off by how they had lost visual based on the transmissions. But I know I could've missed something else that could've been going on.

[@budguy21]

there are also Blackhawks enforcing TFR's

My oldest daughter was a GA. My son was an RA. My wife was a GA when she was a little girl. I was an RA.

[@ds78613]

Hot take: AF1 shouldn't get much additional consideration beyond what any airplane does in terms of separation. The disruptions and screw-ups like this just aren't worth it. Also, someone wanting to do something malicious to AF1 isn't going to care about a TFR and clearly the slow response from the F-35 and apparent inability to locate the Cessna underscore my point. Same goes for sporting events like the Super Bowl...TFR for the flyover and that's it.

[@Dismay992]

I mean, a TFR is basically an early warning perimeter. It gives the secret service a buffer (a few minutes) to assess the situation and provide the necessary steps to protect the president. It's better to be aware of the threat when it's still a few miles away rather than when it's already next to you.

[@smark1180]

A TFR is like a lock on your front door. It only bars the honest people. So when it's violated it makes it easier to identify the bad guys.

[@johannesbols57]

You know best. Just tell that to the big boys in Washington and they'll surely rewrite all their policies to suit your logic.

[@sigmasquadleader]

I bet your opinion changes every 4 to 8 years about TFR and AF1. Fix your fuel mixture. You've not been getting enough oxygen, as an American. Too much Fox I mean fuel.

[@ds78613]

@@sigmasquadleader it assuredly does not change with what political party is in office. TFRs and traffic disruptions on the ground are simply not justifiable. Anyone putting these elected officials on this much of a pedestal (including the ones who would try to harm them) are the ones oxygen-deprived. I don't remember the last time I watched Fox news, personally, but thanks for the ad hominem-esque assumption.

Wonder why the F-35 used “US aircraft” instead of his callsign?

[@PrograError]

cause he's a NOBLE...

[@cockatoo010]

Because that's the protocol. If you get intercepted by any other air force, they'll say "you've been intercepted by (insert nationality) aircraft"

[@soarby0075]

That was a really crazy TFR and shut down the entire DFW area. These things should be a little less restrictive. It usually doesn’t shut things down for 24 hours

[@dejanbrice8774]

Yeah, very poor interception communication phraseology. Standard though for any USA RT, always very none standard and confusing.

[@Geekio6613]

I imagine they ask that to confirm that they're talking to the right plane. They can see the plane, but they aren't necessarily certain that the voice on the other end of the radio is the same aircraft they're looking at.

[@David-ng9ip]

The F-35 doesn't know how many airplanes are on that frequency, so they need to make sure they're talking to the correct airplane. They're also trying to get him to turn north to exit the TFR.

[@DeltaEntropy]

It’s not “we don’t know where you are” it’s “we’re looking at this aircraft, is it you?” It’s the standard way to identify an aircraft without a transponder/IFF. You don’t know who the aircraft is or what they’re callsign is, and unless you get real close you can’t read their tail number, so to figure it out you have to play 20 questions to narrow down the options using things like aircraft type, location, heading, color, etc. “High wing propeller aircraft at 3000, heading north along the river, you are being intercepted by a US aircraft, please identify yourself.” So if you’re a vision jet at 5k you know you’re not the TOI. If all those things apply to you, you know you’re in trouble.

[@ryanburnham1932]

Why does such a large area of airspace need to be shutdown through a TFR, and have alert aircraft on standby to react. This is AF1 we are talking about, schedule an armed fighter escort on all flights, fighter pilots need to fly a certain number of hours regardless, and shrink the TFR to almost nothing. If the fighter jets are already there a Cessna won't be able to get close enough to do anything. Let recreational/civilian planes fly freely.

[@rcbif101]

And then the Cessna responded - "YOU'RE NOT INTERCEPTING ME, I'M INTERCEPTING YOU! AHAHA!" As the F35 pilot notices the lone Cessna appear out of nowhere behind him.
