Superbowl TFR busted over my house

Got to see the TFR cops in action today over my house. Local airpark acrobatic guru must have forgotten. We heard him overhead, and went "uh oh". Not 5 minutes later, the helicopter showed up and escorted him back to the runway.

Bad day to be him. Wish I could have gotten the shot of the helicopter trying to follow him through a hammerhead move

We were in the outer band, a ring 30NM from the stadium.

 

Regularly scheduled commercial operations, and GA flights with flight plans and ATC contact were allowed if inbound to or outbound from local airports. Just flying around wasn't allowed.

The following restrictions will apply from 1530 local (CST) to 2359 local (CST) on February 6, 2011:

10 NMR Inner ring restrictions: All aircraft flight operations are prohibited from the surface up to but not including 18,000 Feet MSL within a 10 Nautical Mile Radius (NMR) of 324552N/0970534W or the TTT VOR/DME 197 degree radial at 6.8NM except as specified below:
1. Approved Law Enforcement and DoD aircraft directly supporting the Super Bowl. Approved Air Ambulance flights. All approved aircraft must squawk an assigned discrete beacon code at all times, and are permitted to operate within the inner ring but must coordinate with the FAA at the Air Operations Center (AOC) prior to their departure to avoid potential delays. The published NOTAM will have the AOC phone number.
2. Regularly scheduled commercial passenger and all-cargo carriers operating under TSA-approved Standard Security Programs/Procedures.
3. Non-commercial General Aviation (GA) operations are prohibited within the 10NM inner ring while the TFR is in effect.

10 NMR to 30 NMR Outer ring restrictions: All aircraft flight operations are prohibited from the surface up to, but not including, 18,000 Feet MSL between the 10 NMR and the 30 NMR of 324552N/0970534W or the TTT VOR/DME 197 degree radial at 6.8NM except as specified below:
1. All aircraft arriving or departing local airfields, and workload permitting, ATC may authorize transit operations with prior coordination with the Domestic Events Network (DEN). Aircraft may not loiter. All aircraft entering or exiting the TFR must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan and must be assigned a discrete beacon code by an Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility and be squawking that code prior to departing or entering the TFR.
2. All aircraft entering or exiting the TFR must remain in two-way radio communication with ATC.

The following operations are not authorized within this TFR: flight training, practice instrument approaches, aerobatic flight, glider operations, parachute operations, ultralight, hang gliding, balloon operations, agriculture/crop dusting, animal population control flight operations, banner towing operations, sightseeing operations, model aircraft operations, model rocketry, seaplane/amphibious water operations and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
