As long as we're on the topic of FARs....

Did you take those pictures? Inside the stadium TFRs? :eek:

You could easily get these pics w/out busting the TFR. We did the same thing around Disney World a couple of years ago... had a mapping job adjacent to Disney Property, part of it was inside the 3nm but our altitude was 3,600 agl. We worked extensively with MCO approach for about two weeks prior to make sure we wouldn't get shot down or busted. While there, we used a Canon 1ds, 200mm L-series lens, and got several nice shots of Disney World, Epcot, etc... not the best images but plenty big enough for a cool avatar. These have been cropped.

Having been to ballgames in each of those stadiums and flown into AHN and DKX, you could possibly get inside the TFR under ATC control while arriving/departing.

I think you're right. You get your own cool airlplanes and a 27 year old girlfriend at 43 after you ditched your beautyful wife. Plus a few million to boot.

But, will he ever have the thrill to jet around a plane full of disgruntled, peanut munching pax to DCA in lousy weather for low pay?

The pictures were probably taken from the banner towers that are authorized to fly the "route" during the games. Looks like it was taken from about that altitude and distance.

I'm not sure that it's called "Montana Miss" anymore, though. I seem to remember seeing a blurb for the interview and the Mustang in the background was called "Kiss Me Kate". Wonder if the helmet he wears while flying it is lined w/ tin foil...
