Unfortunately, most TFRs are not issued more than 24 to 48 hours in advance of becoming effective. An exception to that would be AF-1, which its domestic destinations are usually announced in advance by a week or more. A second would be long standing events, such as the Unlimited hydroplane races in Seattle and Kennewick Washington. They have air shows that close the area around the race sites for several days that all the locals know about. While the racing officials actually use drones in the running of the races, the drones are landed between heats so that the airshow can proceed without any worry of the drones getting in the way. It also allows for batteries to be recharged or replaced as needed while the drones are on the ground
