Talk:No-fly zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article referenced does not contain all of the information in the Wikipedia article. Although I believe what the Wikipedia article has to say, I am forced to assume that much of the article is original research and unverifiable, which is prohibited:

I respectfully disagree. If you go take a look at the referenced article again, you'll see the following text (it is in a box inside the article):

The Federal Aviation Administration designates six areas in the United States as prohibited flight zones that pilots must avoid:

*Capital zone in Washington that covers the White House, Capitol and Naval Observatory.

*President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Tex.

*The Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine.

*The presidential retreat at Camp David in Maryland.

*Pantex nuclear assembly plant in Amarillo, Tex.

*The area around George Washington's home at Mount Vernon, Va., to prevent vibrations from engine noise from rattling the historic home.

I can search for further references if required. Lbbzman 19:55, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

My mistake Lbbzman. I didn't see it in the box when I read the article. Sorry about that. -snpoj

Not a problem. Thanks for putting it back. Cheers, Lbbzman 03:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battlefield 1942 reference

Again, I don't doubt the truth of the statement that there is a map called "No-fly Zone" but there is no reference and it is arguably too obscure of a fact. -snpoj

[edit] Removal of question at end of Iraq paragraph.

I removed the following question from the end of the paragraph on the Iraq No-Fly Zone, "Does this case represent a victory for the Realist or Solidarist perspectives on Humanitarian Intervention?" It seems strangely out of context and makes me wonder if this text was lifted (rightfully or not) from a textbook. Any thoughts? - editoro

I agree with the removal. -Snpoj 05:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Purpose?

This article needs to include the purpose of a no-fly zone. I am not well-versed in the subject. Anyone? KevinPuj 15:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boundary Waters -- Reason?

I'm not disputing that this is a "no-fly zone", but I'm curious for the reason. Most of the other listed areas within the US have obvious strategic value, or are otherwise explained (as in the case of the museum.)

Is this area a no-fly zone for preserving the "wilderness experience", or is there some other reason? (Either way, I feel it should be mentioned in the article.)

I haven't seen an official reason stated, but I assume it's because of the "wilderness experience". Of course, you know what happens when you assume... --Gridlock Joe 21:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
