TFR in North Dakota: Purpose to keep public in dark?

[Rob Levine]

Coming back to this topic because people are now asking why there is a TFR in North Dakota. The only real answer is to prevent the public from seeing what's going on there. At the same time, law enforcement has shot eight drones out of the sky - which is a felony. Drones have the potential to be a great source of information for journalists - but that won't happen if the federal government can shut down airspace to keep us in the dark.

Why is there a TFR over Standing Rock?

That's sad. I hope things work out for guys up that way safely, and respectfully. Fly safe[emoji106]

John Goglia from the NTSB (past board member) said something similar in Forbes. Unfortunate.

I've been in contact with him, and the FAA, for permission. Stay tuned.
