Dealing with "volunteer" pilots

Jack is truely one of the great orators of our time.

Then what needs to be concentrated on then is what authority does CAP really have to keep people away?  Otherwise, we really are just counting on our ability to schmooze people into doing what we want.

Seriously, what is the likelyhood of ATC actually setting up a TFR during a search?  Has that ever happened?  Ive never heard of it.

We'd have to ask the AFRCC to request it from the FAA.  If it became a safety issue, I don't see the FAA denying that request.  It is always better to "Sell" rather than "Tell" but we would keep our options open.

Setting up a TFR has happened in the past and from what I can tell the AFRCC would not be at all shy about requesting it if it was needed.

So how did NVWG & CAWG handle the "Hilton Air Force"?  I heard they were a real pain, got in the way and told CAP to go pound sand!
