Just in case anyone is planning a flight through Central Texas in the next few days, be advised that the prohibited airspace around George Dubya's ranch will be extended per the announcement below. My home airport here in Gatesville (05F) is about 14 miles from the ranch, so this pretty much puts me on the ground until hizzoner goes back to Washington. We get two or three force-downs at the airport every time this happens, due to people not knowing about the restrictions, or not using their radios, or other reasons. I just wanted to pass this along to everyone so you won't find yourself flying formation with an F-16. By the way, if they have any reason to think that the President is in danger, they will shoot and ask questions later.
