Attention all aviators! With increased VIP travel over the next few days, NORAD will be enforcing multiple TFRs across the country, including the restricted airspace over Palm Beach this weekend. Don’t be the next intercept. Make sure you have the most current information by checking your NOTAMs before each and every flight. Staying informed keeps you clear of restricted airspace and prevents an avoidable intercept.
