I was just about to ask the same thing. Someone had to have taken some pictures of it.

It was flying around over the parking lots for a good hour or more. It came over our lot at least a half-dozen times.

I can't believe none of us can find out when this rule was enacted. I've tried to find out on the internet with no luck and I know many of us have posted requests as to when this rule started....strange

The rules for over stadiums are the same as for over cities. In general, a pilot has to take reasonable precautions to protect people on the ground in the event of the engine quitting, and he must stay at least 1000 feet above anything within a 2000 foot horizontal radius of the airplane. So he'd have to have been at least 1000 feet above the nose bleed seats to be legal. The Feds can issue something called a 'Notice to Airmen' and restrict pilots much more at any time; but they usually don't.

Most likely this company cooperates with the regional FAA office located in Bedford, MA and they cooperate with their insurance carrier. I expect they have an unofficial plan in place that restricts them beyond the set laws.

But don't they also have to clear out of the area entirely when the game is on? That's why only the Goodyear/Metlife Blimps gets aerial footage.

More importantly, still no pics?

Oh man, just like Operation Northwoods, a recently unclassified Pentagon paper that called for attacking one of our own ships and blaming it on another country in order to piss us off and take us into war.

Kraft should of had Mark Henderson snowplow the * plane once it landed.

This was talked about on WAAF this morning. They were saying the plane was rented out of New York.

As far as restricted airspace, there are planes flying banners over the stadium for every game. They're usually car dealers.

My GF and her brother had spotted this one and grabbed the binoculars to read it.
